President Donald Trump says he is considering “winding down” military operations in the Middle East. Trump's social media post comes as the U.S. is sending three more amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 additional Marines to the region. The mixed messages come after oil prices climbed yet again, putting pressure on the U.S. stock market. That was followed by a Trump administration announcement that it will lift sanctions on Iranian oil loaded on ships. The move aims to wrangle soaring fuel prices. The three-week-old war is showing no signs of letting up, with Israel saying Iran continued to fire missiles at it early Saturday.
