HOUSTON — U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright will speak Monday at an energy conference, as financial markets hope President Donald Trump is signalling the Iran war could soon end.
Top oil executives, senior U.S. government officials and influential policymakers from around the world are gathering in Houston, Texas, for S&P Global’s annual CERAWeek conference. The gathering takes place as the Iran war has triggered the largest oil supply disruption in history.
Wright’s comments Monday come after Trump said he would delay strikes on Iran’s power plants for five days following “productive” conversations with the Islamic Republic. The president told CNBC that the U.S. is “very intent on making a deal with Iran.”
