Trump: through the Strait of Hormuz overnight exported a record volume of oil

Last night, a record volume of oil exceeded pre-war levels was transported through the Strait of Hormuz. This was stated by US President Donald Trump during a briefing.

“Remember one thing: oil is now cheaper than under the administration of [former US President Joe] Biden,” Trump said. But despite all this, we are getting huge amounts of oil. And last night, we transported a record amount of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, more than we exported before the war. Exactly how much oil was transported, Donald Trump did not specify.

The US president added that after the end of hostilities in the Middle East, the prices of oil and other products will begin to decline. He claims that “virtually all food prices” have already fallen since Joe Biden’s presidency.

The UK Maritime Trade Authority (UKMTO) said the intensity of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remained about 75 percent below the year-early level.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump rejected Iran's seven-day plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, which he was handed over by Qatari intermediaries. The Iranian side demanded to end the naval blockade of its ports, unfreeze assets and lift sanctions on Iranian oil. The US president claims that the US already has “full control” over the Strait of Hormuz, where “huge amounts of oil” pass.
