The US-Iran ceasefire is over. What does that mean for energy?
About this episode
President Donald Trump said this week that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran is effectively over. What does that mean for the world's energy markets and, by extension, consumers' wallets? Could renewed tensions reshape the political landscape with the midterm elections approaching? POLITICO's James Bikales breaks down the economic and political consequences of the latest escalation. Plus, the Energy Department announced this week that it finalized a $3 billion loan to help support Texas’ power grid, and Meta announced that it is investing $10 billion to construct its first data center in Canada.
