Brent Crude Rises Above $100 Despite President Trump Comment on Oil Prices

The claim has two parts: Trump said oil prices were coming down, and Brent crude was still up strongly and above $100 at the time/context. Direct fetching of the supplied X posts failed, so I cannot verify the exact wording from those posts. However, WSJ's live coverage states Trump told CBS that the Iran war was 'very complete' and could end soon, and in the same coverage notes oil had surged above $100, with Brent up 6.8% on the day to $98.96 at settlement after trading much higher earlier. Yahoo Finance also reports crude surged past $100 per barrel overnight and then fell after Trump's remarks. Together, 'Strait of Hormuz Closure Could Push Crude Oil Price Toward $150, Macquarie Says - WSJ' and 'Yahoo Finance' support the substance that Trump was publicly talking down oil prices while Brent had been above $100 and materially higher on the day. Because the exact user phrasing 'coming down' and the precise intraday snapshot 'up more than 4% and traded above $100' are not directly confirmed from the failed X links, the best assessment is likely_true rather than certain.
