Grok tells me that 8-10% of oil for the us comes from middle east
The 8–10% share of total U.S. oil imports coming from the Middle East/Persian Gulf is already the volume that predominantly relies on this chokepoint Strait of Hormusz. In other words: Of that 8–10%, nearly 100% transits the Strait of Hormuz under normal conditions. This equates to roughly 2% or less of overall U.S. petroleum liquids consumption (or about 7–8% of total U.S. crude imports), reflecting America's high domestic production and heavy reliance on closer sources like Canada and Mexico.
Why did my Gas go up ...except to make a trump look bad?
actually force majeure has been invoked and the much of the middle east oil contracts invalidated. oil not shipping means states will negotiate with anyone selling, thus prices go up. once supply returns then normal contracts will return.
