Paul Krugman:
"On Wall Street, TACO β Trump Always Chickens Out β has abruptly been replaced as a favorite meme by NACHO β Not a Chance Hormuz Opens. As a result, oil futures have soared.
So what is preventing the reopening of the Strait? Three factors: Trumpβs ego, his ignorance, and the Iraniansβ unfortunately justified belief that any agreement they reach with America would be effectively worthless."
