Speaking during a White House event, Trump confidently declared that the solution to the ongoing fuel crisis is simple: pull U.S. troops out of Iran.
“The only thing we have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon,” he said.
According to him, the withdrawal could happen within the next two to three weeks, once the United States completes its mission in the region.
The conflict, which reportedly began in late February, has already caused serious disruption to global oil supply, especially after Iran shut down the vital Strait of Hormuz — a key route used for transporting oil across the world.
This disruption has led to sharp increases in fuel prices, affecting many countries, including Nigeria, where citizens are already struggling with high living costs.
Trump insisted that U.S. military operations have significantly weakened Iran’s capabilities, especially in areas related to nuclear development, and that America will leave once its objectives are fully achieved — whether or not a diplomatic agreement is reached.
In a strong message to global allies, he also criticized countries that refused to support U.S. efforts in securing oil shipping routes. He urged them to take responsibility for their own energy supply instead of relying on America.
The statement quickly gained attention after being shared by Instablog9ja on X (formerly Twitter), where many Nigerians reacted with mixed feelings.
Some expressed hope that fuel prices might finally drop if tensions ease, while others remained skeptical, noting that global politics often takes longer to resolve than expected.
For many Nigerians, who are already battling high fuel costs, the possibility of relief is something worth watching closely.
However, experts and observers warn that even if the U.S. withdraws, the long-term stability of the region remains uncertain — and that could still affect global oil prices.
For now, all eyes are on the coming weeks.
Will this move truly bring relief, or is it too early to celebrate?
