Trump Proposes $5 Billion Fund for Gulf Energy Infrastructure

US President Donald Trump has proposed a $5 billion fund to finance the rebuilding of Gulf energy infrastructure damaged in a war with Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal. The fund, which the US expects Gulf states to contribute to for a total of $10 billion, would also help develop alternative oil export routes bypassing the critical Strait of Hormuz. This development could influence crude oil prices by enhancing supply security or, conversely, by escalating regional tensions, potentially impacting gold's safe-haven appeal and the PKR's stability.
