Good news. World oil prices declining, now hovering at
$53/barrel mainly because of higher supply from Iraq and Nigeria (they somehow
disobeyed OPEC) and new all-time high US oil production, 12.5 million barrels
per day (mbpd). See also US oil output, August of 2014-2016 (within last 3
years of Obama) vs August of 2017-2019 (Trump), huge discrepancy.
Obama was saying, "Yes to expensive oil so long as
we keep US oil on the ground to help 'save the planet'." He's a good ally
of Saudi and Russia. Trump does the reverse, "No to expensive oil, drill
baby drill." He's a non-friend of Saudi and Russia. That's why the
"Trump is Putin puppet" is an idiotic-moronic proposition at the
onset.

Trade War Panic
Sends Oil Lower
By Nick Cunningham - Sep 03, 2019, 6:00 PM CDT
“Oil prices fell
sharply on Tuesday as fears over the economic fallout from the U.S.-China trade
war returned.
On Sunday, a 15
percent tariff on roughly $112 billion worth of Chinese goods took effect, and
retaliatory tariffs by Beijing on American goods also went up. Trump had
previously decided to hold off on putting tariffs on a much larger $300 billion
tranche of Chinese goods – the remaining levies are set to take effect in
December. Together, the tariffs could impose the equivalent of a $1,000 tax on American
consumers over the course of a year.”
