They don't know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!" Trump said in a Truth Social post Wednesday.Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures jumped 4.9% to $104.86, and Brent crude futures surged 5% to $116.85 amid concern that Trump's policy will prolong disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for 20% of global crude oil flows.
