President Trump on Friday said higher tariffs against China weren’t sustainable and expressed optimism that a solution would be found, they add. Crude futures continue to lose ground following three consecutive weekly declines. “Weak growth projections and the ongoing energy transition across China and the EU are dampening the broader outlook for crude, compounded by U.S.-China tariff tensions.
