JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump considers the soaring world oil prices not a big problem for other countries if peace can be achieved by the only way of destroying the enemy through war.
Trump said that "the price of oil in the short term" is "a very small price to pay" for security and peace around the world.
"Oil prices in the short term, will immediately fall when the Iranian nuclear threat ends, is a price that is very small for the US, and the world, safe and peaceful. ONLY THE STUPID WILL THINK DIFFERENT!" said Trump.
Trump said this in response to the impact of the Israeli-US attack on Iran on oil prices in his social media account, TruthSocial, on Sunday local time.
Meanwhile, world oil prices have risen above 100 US dollars (USD) per barrel as Israel-US continues to attack Iran, which has targeted civilian buildings to gas and energy infrastructure.
Currently, oil is traded at around USD101 per barrel, up 11 percent. With the skyrocketing price of oil per barrel, higher gasoline prices will soon be present at gas stations.
Oil prices and the potential for a global energy crisis have put pressure on many countries.
For example, in Bangladesh, a country whose poverty rate by mid-2025 is estimated at 27.93 percent of the total population, a number of strict policies were imposed due to the disruption of oil supply supplies due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Learning and teaching activities at the university level to elementary schools in Bangladesh have even been temporarily suspended in order to save electricity due to the Israel-US vs Iran war.
Meanwhile, in the Philippines, the increase in fuel prices is already in sight, which has been announced by the government, making the people of the Southeast Asian country panic buying.
