Trump Suggests Keeping Iranian Oil Like Venezuela Deal

US President Donald Trump has suggested that his forces could remain in Iran and 'keep the oil' similar to the US deal with Venezuela. Speaking at the Irish Open golf championship, Trump stated that he would only make a 'right deal,' before drawing parallels with the US agreement in Venezuela announced in August.

'We'll ultimately get out (of Iran), unless we decide to stay and keep the oil like Venezuela,' Trump said, adding that US revenue from Venezuela has 'paid for the war many times.'

Trump reiterated that he still expects the Iran war to end this year, despite ongoing gridlock over talks on the Strait of Hormuz. He also claimed that the price of gasoline would 'drop like a rock' once the Iran war ended.
