BREAKING 🚨 President Trump on Ukraine-Russia peace deal:

I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Friedrich Merz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office.

During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine.

At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself.

Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

👀 Ukraine & the European countries are very happy with the outcome of this meeting, because -

1) Security Guarantees, which provides Ukraine a fall back measure which could also mean a fail safe system.

2) Ukrainian President has agreed to a Trilateral meeting with Putin & Trump.

3) Russia which was saying that it was ready to allow Security Guarantees for Ukraine till Friday has now turned back and said they won't allow any western troops inside Ukraine.

4) The Ball has now been passed into Putin's court - if he will agree to have a Trilateral meeting now, he contradicts himself by recognizing Zelensky as the "Legitimate" Ukrainian President as he has always said that Zelensky is an illegitimate leader of Ukraine...so the BIG Question is "WILL PUTIN AGREE"?

5) Now if Putin backs out from the Trilateral meeting - the onus of continuing the war falls on Putin.

Well Played Diplomacy by US President Donald Trump 🫡

🇬🇧🚫🗣 The UK's censorship body, OFCOM, tried to take down Gab.com by restricting the payment processor the social media site used, payment processor which was registered and based in the UK.

Gab founder, Andrew Torba, has refused repeatedly to take down posts considered by British authorities "illegal" and refused to disclose the private information of British users on the site who may have violated UK's hate speech laws.

By restricting the payment processor, Gab's operations could have come to a halt as it could no longer obtain funds paid by its users. Gab went around the ban by creating its own payment processing system and survived the British government's masked attempt at censoring the internet for users worldwide.

Military and security forces immediately took control of the scene, nearby streets were cleared, and civilians were removed from the area with a complete ban on photography or documentation.

HERO!

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.

The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.

When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

Oil reserves

🇨🇳🛢 How much strategic oil does the world actually have in reserve?

Global strategic crude oil inventories stood at ~2.5 BILLION barrels as of December 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

China holds by far the largest stockpile at 1,397 million barrels, more than 3 times the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 413 million barrels, which itself sits at only 58% of its full storage capacity of 714 million barrels.

China added an average of 1.1 million barrels per day to its strategic inventories throughout 2025, with preliminary data suggesting it continued building stockpiles in early 2026 ahead of the Iran War.

Japan holds the 3rd-largest reserve at 263 million barrels, followed by OECD European countries at 179 million barrels.

Meanwhile, the US is releasing 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to suppress oil prices, part of a broader 400 million barrel coordinated release agreed by 32 IEA member nations in March.

Rising Oil

🛢 JP Morgan Warns Oil Market Out of Balance, Prices Must Rise

🔸The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows, has removed 13.7 million barrels per day from global supply in April alone. A JP Morgan research note warns the market has no good way to replace it.

🔸Normally, spare production capacity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE acts as the market’s shock absorber. But that buffer has effectively been removed, eliminating the system’s first line of defense.

🔸With spare capacity unavailable, markets turned to inventories
➤ Global stockpiles are now being drained at ~7.1 mbd in April, an extraordinary pace, according to the note.

🔸Meanwhile, demand is collapsing because supply simply isn’t reaching users — “forced demand destruction.”The hardest hit sectors include:
▪️ Petrochemical plants across Asia are shutting down or slashing output as LPG, ethane, and naphtha flows from the Gulf collapse
▪️ Airline jet fuel ...

OIL INVENTORY

🛢⛽️ Global oil inventories are heading toward RECORD LOWS:

Global visible oil inventories have fallen -255 million barrels since the start of the conflict on February 27, to 7,864 million barrels.

Total estimated oil draws, including non-OECD refined products storage, have accelerated to 10.9 million barrels per day in April, the largest monthly draws on record since 2017.

Cumulative estimated draws since the start of the war now stand at 474 million barrels, with Hormuz flows holding at ~10% of normal, or 2.0 million barrels per day.

Meanwhile, even in an optimistic scenario where Strait of Hormuz flows begin recovering by late April, it is unlikely to prevent global visible inventories from reaching all-time lows, according to Goldman Sachs.

As inventories keep falling, physical oil markets are likely to require sharply higher prices for immediate delivery, since buyers cannot wait months for cheaper futures delivery when stocks are running critically low.

Goldman also warns...
