    On August 8, according to a US official, Ukraine has agreed not to target certain non-Russian tankers and Black Sea infrastructure vital to Kazakhstan's crude oil exports. This follows ship attacks last month that caused loading disruptions. The US official said Ukraine has set up contact points so commercial shipping companies can communicate information and ensure safe passage. The commitment was reached after meetings between senior US government leaders and Ukrainian leadership, marking a potentially significant step toward increasing regional oil shipments. Previously, activity in the region had cooled significantly due to several recent attacks near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in Russia's Novorossiysk. (Jin Shi)

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."
