The story · English

U.S. President Donald Trump said at a political rally in Pennsylvania that “at least 90 million barrels of oil” pass through the Strait of Hormuz. He used the remark to underline the strategic importance of the waterway, a crucial route for global energy shipments.

Trump also repeated his pledge that “Iran will not have nuclear weapons.” He claimed that Iran’s economy has collapsed and that its military has been severely damaged, saying it will take the country years to recover.

He added that oil at $70 a barrel would be possible and then attacked Democrats, calling them “so stupid.” He also criticized them for supporting women in men’s sports. The article does not say when or where the rally took place beyond Pennsylvania, and it does not report any response to his remarks.
