As the war in Iran has entered its second month with no negotiations yet scheduled between the major combatants, President Trump is facing several interlocking decisions that will determine how long American forces will stay engaged in the battle and with what kind of risks. The most pressing choice seems to be whether he should narrow his war aims in hopes of pushing through a negotiated settlement with a new crop of Iranian leaders. Talking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Mr. Trump called the Iranian leadership “a whole different group of people” who have “been very reasonable.” (His secretary of state, Marco Rubio, was significantly more skeptical.) Deal-making, as Mr. Trump knows, requires give-and-take — although he generally dislikes being seen as giving an inch.

As the war in Iran rattles global oil markets, Brazil is partially shielded by a decades-old buffer against shocks that is both cheap and environmentally friendly: Tens of millions of drivers here can choose between filling their tank with 100% sugarcane-based ethanol or a gasoline blend that contains 30% biofuel. Brazil’s massive dual-fuel fleet — consisting of vehicles capable of running on any combination of ethanol and gasoline — is unique in its scale. The program, launched in 1975 during the country's military dictatorship, has successfully evolved in democratic times to reduce dependency on foreign oil.

Brazil's central bank policymakers view the oil price shock as a supply-side development that pushes inflation up while weighing on economic growth, ‌but they are buying time to better assess the impact rather than rushing to adjust policy, Governor Gabriel Galipolo said on Monday. "We try to discard or reduce the weight of extreme positions," Galipolo said at an event hosted by Banco J. ⁠Safra. The central bank cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 14.75% at its March 17-18 meeting, after holding it at 15%, its highest level in nearly two decades, since last July. Galipolo said that keeping interest rates steady for such an extended period meant recent developments had not altered the broader context that allowed the easing cycle to begin earlier this month.
