Trump’s message for PM Modi
According to US Ambassador to India Sergio Gore, Trump told PM Modi that he wanted to tell that America loves India. Sergio Gore said, ‘Our conversation was very good and useful. Stay tuned for what’s going to happen next.
With the start of the blockade of Iranian ports by the US Army, there is a possibility of about 2 million barrels of Iranian oil being taken out of the global markets every day. This will increase pressure on global supply and prices of petroleum products may increase further.
Trump’s warning regarding Hormuz Strait
In the last one month, India has made more than 8 LPG tankers pass safely through this route. At the same time, Donald Trump has also announced that America will not allow any ship to pay toll to Iran to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Although India has not recently imposed any toll for its LPG ships, there remains uncertainty about the future situation.
After the failure of Islamabad talks between America and Iran, a second round of talks is being considered. For this reason, the prices of crude oil reached $ 107 per barrel on Monday (13 April 2026). However, on Tuesday (April 14, 2026), due to expectations of possible talks, prices again fell below $ 100 per barrel.
