#Trump abruptly cancels Kushner-Witkoff Pakistan trip - Because, hell no…the Iranians are not going to talk to low lever amateurs who last June were conducting so-called negotiations when the US and #Israel attacked in the middle of talks. Back to square one folks. My worry is that a frustrated, humiliated and impatient Trump will unleash the Israeli hounds of hell; or worse, resort to tactical nukes. It is safe to say the #IranWar is not going according to plan for the #TrumpRegime. It is American #farmers #Truckers and consumers as well as the #GlobalEconomy that will take the hit. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/25/trump-abruptly-cancels-kushner-witkoff-pakistan-trip-00892033

The Iran conflict has exposed the structural fragility of global energy supply chains. With $400B in relief measures projected for 2026, strategic reserves being tapped, and OPEC+ constraints limiting supply response, the shift from economic optimization to security is accelerating. Who ultimately pays?
