So, when are we really going to get

$3.00 a gallon gas? Well, I think that's going to be the uh

up to how how the negotiations go. The

President Trump said this morning that he thinks we're nearing the end. Uh the US kept their side on the ceasefire.

We've stopped firing. The straits of Hormuz have not been completely reopened. Uh so, we will see.

And I'm optimistic uh that during the summer we will see gas with a three in front of it sooner rather than later.

I have It's Bank Week here in DC. So, I've been meeting with a lot of my Middle Eastern counterparts,

the finance ministers, and they all say that that once the straits are open,

they can start pumping again within 1 week.
