#TRUMP #TrumpTariffs #Usoil In early April 2025, President Trump's new tariffs, including a 10% baseline on all imports and higher duties on certain countries, led to a sharp decline in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped below $60 per barrel, its lowest since 2021, due to fears of reduced global demand and potential recession. Major oil companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron experienced stock declines up to 15%. Analysts anticipate continued pressure on oil prices amid escalating trade tensions and increased OPEC+ production.
