Trump claims oil prices drop nearly USD 10 per barrel ahead of US midterms, says “Iran wants a settlement”

What's behind this

President Donald Trump said oil prices are falling sharply, dropping almost $10 a barrel, which he linked to expectations that a war with Iran is unlikely. He added that Iran wants a settlement and that a deal could happen after indirect talks, noting Tehran’s offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under strict conditions. Trump made these comments ahead of the US midterm polls.
