Four weeks into the US-Israeli war with Iran that has sparked an energy crisis due to the blockade of ships by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump addressed his Cabinet and the news media on March 26, digressing into his preference for Sharpie pens, admiring his treasury secretary's glasses and joking about running for president of Venezuela.

Trump weaved through the meeting explaining how he told Sharpie to change the US$1,000 pens to just US$5 pens so that he could save government money to give away the pens to people at the signing ceremonies at the White House.
