US President Donald Trump responded to a social media post saying that “a wave of empty tankers” were headed to the United States to collect crude oil. Trump shared the post on Truth Social on Saturday, writing, “Awesome!!!”“It’s great to see the wave of empty tankers heading to the US to pick up some much-needed crude for Hormuz-starved markets,” a post by oil market researcher Rory Johnston read. It further added, “All tankers on the map below are empty VLCCs (each ~2 million barrel capacity) currently headed for the US Gulf Coast.”
Another user commented that US exports are about to boom.Trump’s comments come soon after he claimed that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened “with or without Iran” ahead of high-level talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad.Earlier also, the US President had suggested that countries facing fuel shortages during the ongoing conflict with Iran should either turn to the United States for oil or take independent steps to secure supplies. “For those countries that can’t get the fuel, many of which have refused to engage in the destruction of Iran, I have a suggestion: No. 1, buy oil from the United States. And No. 2, build up some belated courage, go to the strait, and just take it, defend it. Iran has basically been destroyed. The hard part is done, so it should be easy.Meanwhile, the latest development comes in the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions, with delegations from both the countries scheduled to meet in Pakistan.“I wish them all the best… They (Iran) have been defeated militarily, and now we’re going to open the Gulf, with or without them,” Trump told reporters before the talks.Vance is also accompanied by special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. The Iranian delegation is led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliamentary Speaker MD Ghalibaf.Trump also said he would not allow Tehran to impose transit fees on ships passing through the strait. He said, “No, we will not allow it, this is international waters. If they are doing this, we will not allow it to happen.”Tehran effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a key sea corridor between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, in response to the US-Israeli attacks on February 28, triggering the current Middle East conflict. About 20% of the world’s crude oil supply passes through this route, highlighting its global strategic importance.
