Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump sent a peace plan to Iran as he voiced optimism on Tuesday (March 24, 2026) at ending nearly a month of warfare, with Tehran announcing that it will let “non-hostile” oil vessels go through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
“They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “That meant one thing to me -- we’re dealing with the right people,” he said. Brent crude oil, the global market benchmark, dropped close to six percent Wednesday (March 25, 2026) after Mr. Trump sent a peace plan.
