Tonight’s Business/Market/Political Impact Spotlight –
- “It’s certainly looking that way at this point,” Trump responds to a question whether Iran was responsible for the attacks.
- The largest oil processing facility at Abqaiq and the nearby oil field was attacked on Saturday, knocking out more than half of the kingdom’s oil output.
- “That was a very large attack and it could be met with an attack many, many times larger very easily by our country, but we are going to find out who definitively did it first,” Trump says.
President Donald Trump said on Monday that he’s in no rush to respond to a coordinated attack that hit Saudi Arabia’s oil industry over the weekend, said left-of-center CNBC.
Right-of-center Fox Business reported that oil prices have surged at the highest rate in 11 years in the wake on the drone strike, being attributed by many to Iran or Iranian backed forces.
The largest oil processing facility at Abqaiq and the nearby Saudi oil field was attacked on Saturday. That knocked out 5.7 million barrels of daily crude production. It is equal to more than 50% of the kingdom’s oil output.
“It’s certainly looking that way at this point,” Trump responded to a question on whether Iran was responsible for the attacks. “I don’t want war with anybody but we are prepared more than anybody … We have a lot of options but we are not looking at options right now.”
“That was a very large attack and it could be met with an attack many, many times larger very easily by our country, but we are going to find out who definitively did it first,” he added.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani said Monday the attacks on Aramco were a “reciprocal response” to the aggression against Yemen. The Saudi-led military coalition stated that the attack was carried out by “Iranian weapons” which they said did not originate from Yemen.
Satellite and other technology should be able to trace the sources of the attack. But this raised the question, how did the drones escape Saudi radar or other defenses?
On Sunday the president tweeted that the U.S. is “locked and loaded” after the attacks on Saudi’s oil supply. But he also indicated that the U.S. and other nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves can keep the markets “well-supplied,” so he is not expecting major disruption at this time.
The president is heading to New Mexico for a campaign rally tonight. It is part of a strategy to turn blue New Mexico into a red Trump state in 2020, per the Trump campaign. MHProNews will monitor the oil and other geo-political developments.
