Oil Prices Rise as Trump Rejects Iran Proposal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Oil prices rose over 1% after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume peace talks, raising concerns about prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies. Iran's proposal included lifting the US naval blockade and easing sanctions, but Trump deemed the terms unacceptable. Despite the rejection, Trump indicated negotiations might continue this week. Meanwhile, regional tensions persist with ongoing attacks by Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia, while Middle Eastern crude exports reached their highest levels since the conflict began in February.
