President I-Broke-It-You-Fix-It, on Wednesday, April 1, evening, televised address:
The United States imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won’t be taking any in the future. We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it. . . . And the countries of the world that do receive oil through the Hormuz Straight [sic] must take care of that passage. They must cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it. They could do it easily. We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on.

So to those countries that can’t get fuel, . . . I have a suggestion. No. 1, buy oil from the United States of America. We have plenty. We have so much. And No. 2, build up some delayed courage. . . . Go to the straight and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves. . . . The hard part is done, so it should be easy.

And in any event, when this conflict is over, the strait will open up naturally. It’ll just open up naturally.
