It looked like a normal announcement. It wasn’t. The US just kicked off G20 energy talks in Houston; touting "energy abundance"; while oil prices are soaring because of a war in Iran. Yes, you read that right. The same country hosting the summit is also the one fueling global fuel chaos. Diesel prices in the US? A record $6.20 per gallon. Gas is up 44%. People are panicking. Politicians are sweating. And here’s the twist: Russia is invited. Again. Even though Europe’s begging the US to shut them out over Ukraine. The Russian Finance Minister showed up at the last G20, and no one saw it coming. India, China, Japan, Germany; all there. All trying to figure out how to keep lights on while Washington jabs at Tehran. The real story? It’s not about energy. It’s about timing. A war, an election, soaring prices; and a summit trying to look calm while everything’s on fire. The biggest stories often start as the smallest announcements.
