Oil prices fall in early Asian trade after US President Donald Trump says American and Iranian representatives hold “very good” talks at the United Nations. Multiple reports say Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate both slip below the symbolic $100 level, with prices quoted around $98.91 for Brent and $89.93 for WTI shortly after trading begins.
The meeting is described as lasting about three hours, and Trump tells reporters there will be another round of talks soon. One account also links the announcement to Trump’s earlier UN remarks, in which he signals uncertainty over whether the US pursues a deal with Iran or takes a tougher stance. Other coverage focuses on the price reaction, noting the international benchmarks drop from recent highs.
One outlet adds context from regional supply, saying Saudi Arabia prepares to resume crude exports through its East–West pipeline. Overall, the common thread across sources is that Trump’s statement about progress in the talks coincides with lower oil prices, though coverage varies on how much emphasis is placed on the broader geopolitical backdrop.
