Trump’s China Tariff

April 08, 2025

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley breaks down the volatile energy market in light of tariff tensions between the U.S. and China, debunking rumors of postponed tariffs and emphasizing the impact on oil prices and global economics. He highlights President Trump's aggressive trade stance, the potential return of $75–$80 oil due to underinvestment in drilling, and criticizes California's climate policies under Governor Newsom for contributing to the state's decline. Turley also underscores Africa's energy potential, advocating for U.S. partnerships over handouts, and wraps with optimism for future energy solutions and international trade cooperation.
