00:00On when the war in Iran will end, Donald Trump is somewhat evasive.
00:05I think so. Very soon. Look.
00:09But in his first press conference since the start of the U.S. bombing of the Islamic Republic,
00:14another of the U.S. president's comments drew attention.
00:18We're also waiving certain oil-related sanctions to reduce prices.
00:23So we have sanctions on some countries. We're going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out.
00:28Then who knows, maybe we won't have to put them on. There will be so much peace.
00:33The price of a barrel of oil instantly dropped after having risen by a historic 30% in just a
00:38few hours on Monday.
00:40All eyes are now on the sanctions on Russian oil imposed after Moscow's full-blown invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
00:48Lifting them would ease the pressure on global oil supplies and bring prices down.
00:53Earlier on Monday, Vladimir Putin had offered European countries access to Russian oil and gas,
00:58in return for their cooperation.
01:03If European companies and European buyers suddenly decide to reorient themselves
01:08and provide us with long-term, sustainable cooperation, free from political pressures,
01:14then yes, of course, we've never refused.
01:18We're ready to work with Europeans too.
01:25Once a major supplier of fuel to EU countries, Moscow now finds itself effectively cut off from the continent
01:32and has had to turn to India and China to sell its oil.
01:35An easing of US sanctions could offer Russia a bailout and a means of financing its war in Ukraine.
01:42We will be on Facebook at the top of extinction.
01:42We're now seeing you again repansarenched in Russia,
01:43in Australia on state pasado Terra Materia Park and dormir again.æ–‡
