[45593] Prime Minister of Slovakia: Oil prices depend on Donald Trump's sleep

Oil prices and the influence of Donald Trump: Criticism from Slovakia

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico spoke sharply and cynically about the instability in the global energy market, while placing the responsibility for the situation on Donald Trump. According to him, as reported in Abu Saleh The Arab Desk, the country is dealing with "oil price pressure" that is largely influenced by Trump's conduct.

According to the report in News in Real Time, Fico claimed that "When he [Trump] sleeps well and issues statements in the morning, prices go down. When he doesn't sleep and doesn't provide any statement, oil prices automatically go up." This statement highlights the frustration among political echelons in Europe regarding the economic dependence on the rhetoric of key American figures.

In News 360 it was noted that the statement was intended to reflect the broad criticism of how political statements immediately affect financial markets. It should be noted that Abu Saleh The Arab Desk, the main source reporting on the issue, holds a position that consistently criticizes US administration policy, while other reports presented the remarks as an analysis of global political instability.
