AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoMiddle East Energy & Shipping: Trump escalated threats toward Oman over Strait of Hormuz talks, warning he’ll “bomb” Oman if it “gets in the way,” as the 60-day U.S.-Iran negotiation window expires without a deal; with Hormuz traffic already slowed by attacks, the risk is higher insurance, freight costs, and delays that ripple into U.S. fuel prices. Oil Markets: Brent is back near $90 and WTI above $82 as supply-risk fears return; analysts tie the move to stalled talks and reduced tanker activity through Hormuz. U.S. Defense Logistics: The U.S. Army is expanding its UAS Marketplace so operational units can pick drones, payloads, software, and mission packages faster, pushing procurement authority closer to the field. Maritime Autonomy: Red Cat’s Blue Ops and Havoc will integrate collaborative autonomy across uncrewed surface vessels to support coordinated multi-vessel operations. Port & Trade: Port of Green Bay earned a federal award for a 145% jump in international cargo through the St. Lawrence Seaway in 2025. Border & Cargo Security: CBP seized about $634K in cocaine hidden in a tractor at the Pharr International Bridge, underscoring ongoing risks in cross-border logistics.
