President Donald Trump made headlines after claiming the United States has been secretly moving massive amounts of oil through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran knowing.

Donald Trump brought up the oil right after a report showed inflation surging.

Trump's comments come after Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Tuesday that oil exports through Hormuz are "rising very meaningfully" without elaborating further.

It’s unclear how the ‘millions of barrels’ Trump spoke of would have been removed without Tehran’s knowledge
