Under pressure!
Brent back up to $110 as negotiations stall plus a deep dive on China and Vietnam
Brent back up to $110 as negotiations stall plus a deep dive on China and Vietnam
The pressure in the diplomatic cooker is ratcheting up again. Or you could say in the Pentagon. Some hawks want different results from what the war has delivered. Others think the outcome won't change. As emotions are likely to boil over, negotiations are stuck in a dead-end with neither side willing to deviate an iota from its terms. Last year, it was only a 12 Day War. This time, it hasn’t been 100 days yet, but it’s felt like the 100 Years War! Trump keeps on asking for the same things he wanted to begin with, and the Iranians are having none of it, adding items to their bill as they want reparations.
