Trump: Hormuz Strait doesn't matter much anymore
Trump says the Hormuz Strait, one of the world's most critical chokepoints for global oil trade, is going to be less important than it used to be.
No explanation. No strategy. Just a casual claim that contradicts every energy analyst, military strategist, and economic forecast on the planet. The Strait handles roughly 21% of global petroleum trade. It's not becoming less important because Trump feels like saying so.
This is what passes for foreign policy now: vibes-based declarations about geopolitical realities.
