President Donald Trump noted a critical and strategic area in the Middle East is “in great shape” as images of burning oil tankers in the region were posted online.
Trump spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland as the Persian Gulf burned, further jeopardizing global fuel supplies that are causing Republicans cost-of-living headaches.
The Strait of Hormuz provides the only access to the Persian Gulf and is critical for ships carrying oil to enter and exit. The conflict in the region has seen oil prices soar since the beginning of the war, as 20 percent of the global oil supply passes through the Strait.
