[Trump: No Need to Restrict U.S. Oil Exports] According to Golden Finance, on May 8, U.S. President Trump stated that there is no need to restrict the export of U.S. oil or aviation fuel. "We don't need them," Trump told reporters in Washington on Thursday. "And we have plenty of oil." The obstruction of the critical Hormuz Strait has significantly increased U.S. energy exports, enabling the U.S. to surpass Saudi Arabia as the world's largest crude oil exporter. However, experts have consistently warned that the U.S.'s supply buffer capacity is nearing its limit, and it remains unclear how long exports at this level can be sustained. Trump, however, dismissed these concerns and praised the sharp increase in export volumes. He said, "Ships are turning around from their previous routes to the Hormuz Strait," adding, "Hundreds of ships are heading to Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, loading up and returning full, making a fortune."
