Original source

Oil prices, after jumping to nearly $120 a barrel, plunged below $90 on Monday amid news that G7 countries may jointly release of petroleum reserves and on word from President Trump that the war may soon be over. CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang said Trump told her in an interview that the U.S. is "very far" ahead of his initial estimate of a four-week conflict and that the war could be over "soon."
