Trump: The World Relies on the U.S. for Oil Without Crossing the Strait of Hormuz

On April 13, Trump stated that due to Iran's actions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the entire world is relying on the U.S. for oil. "We will implement blockade measures tomorrow at 10 AM... Other countries are also working to ensure that Iran cannot sell oil, and this will be very effective! Many ships are heading to our country, refueling, and then leaving to transport this oil, so they won't have to cross the Strait of Hormuz. This issue will ultimately be resolved. The whole world is relying on the U.S. Thanks to the 'Drill, Baby, Drill' campaign, our oil reserves have increased, surpassing the combined total of Russia and Saudi Arabia. The current situation is that ships are arriving, refueling, and no longer needing to cross the Strait of Hormuz!" (Jinshi)
