You maybe surprised to know we don’t, it impacts further east and south from us currently. If Mr Trump wants the cavalry he will have to look further east and as 2 nations there are already getting their tankers though by arrangement then you may have to look at smaller nations. However the impact is on world oil price hence your own price rises.
