US President Biden evaluated the agenda with members of the press while leaving the White House before leaving for Florida.
“WE ARE DISCUSSING THIS RIGHT NOW”
Biden: “Would you support Israel attacking Iran’s oil facilities?” To a question like this, “We are discussing this right now.” he replied.
“Will you allow Israel to respond to Iran?” To the question “First of all, we do not allow Israel, we give advice. Nothing will happen today. We will talk about it later.” He responded.
OIL PRICES INCREASED
The rise in oil prices after US President Biden’s statements attracted attention.
The barrel price of Brent oil increased by 4.68 percent to 77.36 dollars as of 19.50 Türkiye time. At the same time, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil was purchased at $73.58 per barrel, with an increase of 4.96 percent.
Oil prices had risen due to concerns that the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, where most of the global oil reserves are located, would spread to a wider area and could cause disruption in global supply.
