The Leverage Machine: How Trump Is Converting Energy Insecurity Into Alliance Currency

Join Market Truth's Josh Carter for today's podcast:

Wednesday night, Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States would "massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before."

The threat was directed at Iran. But the audience was every allied government watching.

That sentence explains the Takaichi summit, Japan's $60 billion commitment, and NATO's sudden interest in 5% defense spending. It explains why Venture Global is up 92% year-to-date while Germany is paying double for gas. Trump did not create an energy security strategy. He created an energy dependency strategy.
