Da libertação de reservas ao alívio de sanções. As medidas de Trump para tentar conter os preços do petróleo

Presidente norte-americano tem apresentado várias medidas para tentar mitigar a escalada do crude nos mercados internacionais. Até agora, parecem ter surtido pouco efeito, sendo que algumas das soluções apresentadas ainda não saíram do papel. Vão desde a libertação de reservas estratégicas, a invocar poderes presidenciais da altura da Guerra Fria, ou permitir que crude russo sob sanções seja exportado para a Índia.
