Oil prices drop as Trump claims 'energy ceasefire' in Ukraine war

Oil prices fell after President Trump claimed an 'energy ceasefire' in the Ukraine war, following a diesel deal with Putin. The move appears aimed at containing fuel costs ahead of the election, but the claim's veracity is unconfirmed and details are sparse. If sustained, it could ease supply concerns and pressure prices lower, but skepticism is warranted given the lack of corroboration.
