Trump says US to receive dozens of empty oil tankers amid Hormuz shift

President Donald Trump told reporters that 68 of 121 large crude carriers, each able to hold about 2 million barrels, are heading to U.S. ports following recent disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessels are empty, indicating a shift in global oil logistics as shippers seek alternative routes. Trump urged the administration to prepare for the incoming shipments and emphasized the need to maintain energy security. The move reflects broader market adjustments after tensions in the Hormuz corridor affected oil supplies.
