President Donald Trump said yesterday that Congress "can not dismiss him" because of the results of Special Inspector Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the presidential election and his attempts to obstruct the investigation.
"Only big crimes and misdemeanors can lead to isolation," Trump wrote on Twitter, challenging Congress. There were no crimes before me (no collusion or obstruction), so you can not dismiss me. " "It's the Democrats who committed the crimes, not your Republican president. The table finally turns on the chase. "
Earlier in the day, Trump decided to end the exemptions, which allowed eight countries to buy Iranian oil, with the aim of achieving zero exports of crude in that country, the White House said.
As of May 2, these countries will face US sanctions if they continue to buy Iranian oil.
For his part, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said that the Kingdom is closely following the developments in the oil markets and will work on the availability of supplies, following the abolition of exemptions from the sanctions imposed on Iranian oil exports.
He added: "Saudi Arabia will coordinate with other oil producers, in order to ensure the availability of sufficient supplies of oil to consumers, and work to ensure that the world oil markets out of equilibrium.
