Oil Contracts Are Retreating For The Second Day Of Criticism Of OPEC Trump

Oil prices finished trading in the red zone in European trading on Tuesday after falling on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump's attacks on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and efforts to implement oil production restrictions to stabilize the market.

Trump asked the organization to keep quiet when it came to production cuts because crude oil prices rose a lot in his opinion. He also warned that the situation with oil was "fragile" and that it would have serious consequences all over the world.

In addition to growing concerns about global demand volumes if the United States and China fail to reach a trade deal, the deadline is extended beyond March 1 without setting a date.

Nasser also noted that the peak oil demand theory was "overstated".
