In a significant escalation of tensions, President Donald Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Middle East, including the arrival of an aircraft carrier strike group, as negotiations with Iran loom. During his recent State of the Union address, Trump emphasized his commitment to confronting threats, stating, "As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must." This rhetoric coincides with a backdrop of heightened military presence, which is the largest since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, raising concerns among traders over potential oil supply disruptions. The situation is further complicated by Trump's rare praise of Hamas, indicating a shift in his diplomatic approach, while still threatening Iran amid ongoing tensions.
