Brent crude futures were down $1.9 per barrel, losing 2.76%, to $67.41 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell $1.9 per barrel, losing 2.93%, to $63.3 per barrel.
Trump repeatedly threatened Iran with intervention if it did not agree to a nuclear deal or failed to stop killing protesters. On Saturday Trump told reporters Iran was "seriously talking" with Washington, hours after Tehran's top security official Ali Larijani said on X that arrangements for negotiations were underway.
