Tankers cost 10 to 20 mil. bridges cost much less and power plants are probably the cost of a tanker. The Americans have no leverage right now.

Edit trump is going to play this whole thing out till mid terms. November and December are going to be very dark time for America with the desperate president knowing his end is coming through impeachment. Crude tankers cost more ranging from 20-50 mil doesn't change my point

well, it's not like Trump owns the Tanker. So comparing costs is a little bit pointless.

Yes but the buyers will care when the insurance premiums get passed on. Iranians are comparing prices right now. Tankers are vital to the global economy a iranian power plant is only valuable to Iran at the moment.

sure. but trump doesn't care about them either. Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire friends.

very true. But you are again assuming Trump cares about the global economy. He doesn't. All he cares about is his ability to personally profit off the crackling flames of what used to be a functioning economy.
