Former President Trump has asserted that the United States secretly removed 100 million barrels of oil from the Strait of Hormuz. However, analysis suggests the claim is likely inaccurate, with calculations not supporting such a large-scale operation. While the US likely did manage to extract *some* oil from the region, the volume is almost certainly far less than the figure cited by Trump. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint for oil transportation, and any significant disruption there would have major economic consequences. Experts are questioning the basis for Trump’s statement, highlighting a discrepancy between the claim and available data. The motivation behind the former president’s announcement remains unclear, though it appears to be an attempt to highlight perceived successes during his administration. Further investigation would be needed to determine the actual amount of oil, if any, removed by the US.
