Trump says that the volume of crude oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz in the past three days has hit a record high.

Trump stated that, in the past three days, the crude oil transit volume through the Strait of Hormuz reached its highest level in history. As one of the world’s most important oil transportation routes, the Strait of Hormuz handles nearly one third of global seaborne crude oil trade. Any changes in its traffic have a significant impact on the international energy market. This record-high throughput has drawn widespread attention from the global energy industry and related markets.
