Why didn’t the first “ceasefire” window after the U.S.-Iran tensions reignite cool oil prices?

But these messages didn’t cool oil prices—instead, prices kept rising.
This is likely a “spokesperson” issue; it’s only staying at the level of what’s said.
But since this momentum is there, more short-term ceasefire talk will likely show up i

#TrumpAgreesToClarityEthicsClause The discussion around a proposed "Clarity Ethics Clause" has sparked widespread debate about transparency, accountability, and ethical standards in politics. Supporters argue that stronger ethics rules can help build public trust by setting clear expectations for elected officials and reducing conflicts of interest. Critics, however, question how such measures would be enforced and whether they could become politically selective.
The broader conversation highlights an important issue that extends beyond any single political figure. Citizens increasingly expect
