Trump’s Gulf Trip Isn’t Optics. It’s Energy Realignment.
On May 6, Trump hinted at a “very big announcement” and said the Houthis “capitulated.” Most missed the subtext—but it’s clear:
He’s traveling to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar—OPEC’s core. Not for campaign optics, but to reset global oil flow, security, and currency alignment.
The likely outcome?
🟡 Reaffirmation of the petrodollar
🟡 Undercutting China’s yuan-oil strategy
🟡 U.S. reasserting control over Red Sea shipping + Middle East energy
If this lands, capital won’t wait. It’ll flow straight into energy.
Where I’m Positioned:
$MRO $OXY $XOM $SLB $DVN
We break it all down—what’s coming, why it matters, and how to trade it.
