Trump Administration Scrambles To Stabilize Oil Prices

President Trump's administration is urgently weighing measures to calm oil markets after tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz halted, disrupting roughly 20% of global oil supply and pushing crude near $100–$120 per barrel just over a week into the war with Iran. Energy, Treasury, and Interior officials have discussed easing domestic rules, export restrictions, SPR use, price controls, and military escorts to blunt rising U.S. gas prices.
