Trump: Oil tanker crews must ‘show some guts,’ sail through Straight of Hormuz

President Trump is pushing oil tanker crews to “show some guts” and sail through the Strait of Hormuz.

“These ships should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts, there’s nothing to be afraid of. … They have no Navy, we sunk all their ships,” Trump said, according to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade, who recounted the president’s remarks during an interview.

US official: 'Not true' Navy successfully escorted oil tanker through Strait of Hormuz

A U.S. official denied a claim from Energy Secretary Chris Wright in a now-deleted social media post Tuesday that the U.S. Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

Wright's post, which has since been deleted, did not provide details about the tanker or where it was headed. DOE and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to emailed questions.
