Asked about a timeline at the White House, Trump said “it could be a little bit” for prices to fall, and he played down analyst predictions that it could take years.</p><p>“If it was two years, you know, that’s a short period of time,” he said.</p><p>Trump said the deal would provide a source to help refill the US’s strategic oil reserves, which have been drawn down as the war on Iran chokes global oil shipments. He added that Venezuela’s heavy oil would also go towards producing asphalt and other goods.</p></div></main><hr/><div class="loading-cards" data-testid="loading-cards"><div class="loading-card"><div
