Summary
President Trump made several appearances today, touting the talks he says the U.S. has had with Iran. Trump says they went so perfectly that if Iran carries through, it will end the conflict. However, Iran is maintaining that “no talks have taken place” and reports to the contrary are fake news. Despite the confusing messaging, the markets rallied and the price of oil dropped below $100 a barrel.

| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:07.2 | It is Monday, March 23rd, and Wall Street was happy about something today. |

| 0:58.8 | statement initially this morning and then reiterated it several times throughout the day, he had a lot |
| 1:03.9 | of different appearances and opportunities for the press to ask lots of pressing questions. |
| 1:09.7 | And he doubled down and continued to say, yeah, |
| 1:12.1 | we've had very strong talks. We've had major points of agreement. He said, I would say all points |
| 1:18.4 | of agreements. Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed. So his response was, well, maybe things are in such |

| 1:29.6 | screwed up now that one hand isn't talking to the other. And so if Iran's saying, we haven't had |
| 1:36.1 | talks, it's because we've just blown up their infrastructure. Not talking to the right people. |
| 1:41.7 | Correct. Not talking to the right people. Okay. Let's go back. |
| 1:45.0 | There was a deadline that the president gave over the weekend, 48 hours for Iran to fully reopen the straight of her moves. |
