Trump Cabinet Member Fawns Over President for Getting Middle Eastern Leaders on Phone on a Holiday That They Don't Celebrate

Doug Burgum praised President Donald Trump for securing phone calls with Middle Eastern leaders over a holiday weekend, including Gulf allies and countries such as Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey. The praise was tied to a goal of advancing peace and prosperity in the region. The conversation also addressed the economic impact of the Iran War, including its massive cost and inflationary effects on gas prices. Gas prices were noted as easing as ceasefire talks continued, though they remained higher than before the war began. Burgum also referenced rising energy demand linked to both the Iran conflict and data center growth, connecting energy supply needs to broader economic conditions.

"Obviously, President Trump's two moves ahead of his critics as always, nothing short of aspiration for peace in the Middle East. I mean, who on a Saturday afternoon over a holiday weekend can pull together all the world leaders from the Gulf State allies but also Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey get 'em all in a phone call, and paint a vision, which again, is peace and prosperity in the Middle East, which some people thought never could be achieved. But he's put all the conditions in place for this to come together, and this is gonna be great for not just for the United States but for the world economy and for peace and prosperity around the world."

"The U.S. strikes against Iran have been controversial from the beginning, and the Trump administration has received scathing criticism from the right as well as the left as the war has continued. The massive cost of the war $29 billion and counting and the inflationary impact on gas prices have been major points of contention. Bartiromo pointed out that the gas prices have started to ease as ceasefire talks continue, but they are still higher than before the war began."

"Burgum chatted with Maria Bartiromo Tuesday morning about the economic impact of the Iran War, among other topics. Bartiromo introduced Burgum by commenting that he had been doing a lot to keep up with all this demand for oil, whether it be from the war in Iran or from the massive demand on data centers. What do you think the impact is on energy this morning, as you watch oil prices come down today?"
