Oil prices wobble as US and Iran attack

The United States’ attack on Iranian nuclear facilities late Saturday caused a global oil price spike — but it hasn’t lasted. Prices have tumbled after Iran’s strikes on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre explains these price fluctuations and what it all means for President Donald Trump’s low energy cost promises. Plus, New York governor Kathy Hochul is directing the state’s power authority to build a new nuclear power plant stat, giving NY more renewable energy options.
