The Briefing · Trump ‘chickens out’ again + Elon’s road to $1,000,000,000,000 · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

The US president was yesterday threatening to hit the country very hard with plans as well to take Karg Island, which hosts a major oil facility.

But early this morning our time, Trump fired off a post on Truth Social saying he has cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings because a deal is close.

He said, quote, discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership

approved.

Yeah, it's interesting to see Taco Trump at it again.

That's his new nickname.

Trump always chickens out because he makes these big bold claims and then doesn't follow through.

Interestingly, the stock markets have responded very positively to this announcement.

And there is talk and there are accusations that Trump is gaming the stock markets with these announcements and saying, we're going to do this and it's coming and then he doesn't do it.

And then

money's made on the stock market.

So, you know, unverified, unsubstantiated, but there is quite compelling evidence if you have a look at it.

And the other thing is the threats yesterday that he was making were really causing people to think that full-scale war was about to return between the US and Iran.

So I'm sure we heard from the UN and the EU both coming out to say like, this is not a good thing.

We don't want this.

A de-escalation obviously is a positive thing, but how much longer can we expect this to drag on and on and on with

Promises of a deal, but then never being finalised and then threats of another attack and then that never happening.

Now the impacts of the weather driver differ around the globe but here in Australia it tends to mean we'll see less rain, warmer temperatures, a later onset of the monsoon season, increased fire danger and decreased alpine snow depths.

It does also see a reduction in the number of tropical cyclones we see interestingly.

Now the concern from experts is that this is coming amid an already warming globe thanks to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change
