The average national price at the pump have hit the lowest level in four years, according to a recent report by AAA.
You have to give credit where credit is due. Energy Analyst Phil Flynn, says with US oil production at a record high, "drill baby drill" is working along with the Trump Administrations historic diplomacy efforts.
“President Trump has brought reality back to the energy space. He’s brought back a sense of American strength- which has kept the bad guys at bay, especially in the Red Sea- where ships were being attacked under the last administration, and they put Iran back in a box where they belong. All this diplomacy shows up at your gas tank.” Flynn said.
The analyst laid out several achievements, including the attack on Iran (calling out the Nuclear War Facilities), ending the war between Israel and Hamas, neutralizing both Hamas and the Houthi Rebel Terror groups. Meanwhile, working oil diplomacy with OPEC, letting OPEC know America wants to be one of the biggest oil producers in the world, would like to work with them, but will not allow them to abuse their production- driving prices up.
He also points to the Biden Administration’s failed diplomacy, where OPEC wouldn’t even take a phone call from former President Biden.
He says, at that time, Iran was a big threat, selling oil under the table and bringing record amounts of revenue supporting terror groups wreaking havoc on the global oil production.
At that time- ships were being attacked by Houthie Rebels, forcing ships to take the long way around the world to move oil- all of that added to the cost at the pump.
Under Trump’s watch the difference has been- putting Iran in their place- after several warnings- and when they refused to do so, that immediately lowered gas prices, Flynn says the price of the barrel dropped 10 dollars at the time of resolution.
“By using American influence, power, and diplomacy with Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, OPEC has been a lot more open to keeping the market well supplied than they were over the last administration.” Flynn said.
The energy analyst says you must tip your hat off to President Trump and his administration as they have managed to balance American oil independence and geopolitical risks putting Americans first putting more cash in everyone’s pockets.
