Trump: US is waiting for tankers from around the world to load them with the "sweetest" oil
6 78141
The United States is waiting for oil tankers from all over the world, including the largest on the planet, to load them with the "sweetest" crude. The Americans currently have more of it than the world's two other largest hydrocarbon exporters combined, and it's supposedly of higher quality.
Donald Trump announced this on his Truth Social page.
He wrote:
We are waiting for you.
The White House chief promised to ensure orders are processed quickly. He noted that a huge number of oil tankers from around the world are already heading to American shores, as global demand for "black gold" has increased significantly.
Trump stated:
A huge number of completely empty oil tankers, some of the largest in the world, are right now heading to the United States to load up with the best and sweetest oil (and gas!) in the world.
The surge in oil demand and prices was largely driven by Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. While this turn of events appears to have played into the Americans' hands, they are demanding that Tehran not impede shipping in international waters and lift its energy blockade of oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf.
The US itself often employs this tool. For example, about a month ago, it was used against Cuba. When a Russian oil tanker was heading to the island, it was easily forced to change its route. A quick amendment to the US Treasury Department's sanctions document was all it took, even though the vessel was already en route. As a result, Cuba was among the countries banned from trading with oil and petroleum products from Russia, and the tanker changed its final destination.
