Trump denies offering Iran sanctions relief or release of frozen funds as mediated contacts resume
Question
Trump denies offering Iran sanctions relief or release of frozen funds as mediated contacts resume
Direct answer
The denial reduces near-term confidence in an imminent sanctions-relief package, supporting US crude prices and weighing on Iranian oil-reopening expectations; diplomatic-contact headlines can still produce two-sided moves in oil and safe havens.
