White House officials are bracing for oil prices to surge past the $150-a-barrel mark as the Iran war stretches into its second month and the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, according to a new report.
In recent weeks, the average cost of a barrel of crude has hovered around $100, a figure that the Trump administration now sees as the new “baseline,” though a potential spike to $200 hasn’t been ruled out, a source familiar with the matter told Politico.
As a result, officials have entered “all hands on deck” mode, urgently evaluating options to tame soaring oil prices — which pushed gas above $4 a gallon this week and risks inflating costs across the broader economy.

Ah, so he was. However, if you just say “Napoleon” he’s not the one that people will think you’re referring to. That III is very important.
Yeah my bad. I only know it because a friend of mine has his bday that day and he always says it’s the same bday as Hitler and Napoleon. I assumed he was right, I also just found out it was Napi III.
