As tensions in the Middle East escalate and global energy markets begin to feel the strain, Donald Trump is taking decisive action aimed at protecting American supply chains and stabilizing fuel access at home.
In a move announced Wednesday, the former president authorized a temporary suspension of a major U.S. shipping restriction, signaling urgency as oil markets react to growing instability tied to Iran.
