Trump: Syria Aims to Replace Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump praised Syria's attempt to capitalize on the Strait of Hormuz crisis, considering Syria's positioning as an alternative route for oil and energy to be a positive development. Syria, led by President Ahmad al-Sharq, plans to present itself as a stable land corridor for the transportation of energy and goods by conducting experiments to transfer oil via trucks from Iraq to the Syrian port of Baniyas. This initiative aims to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, through which 50% of global oil supplies pass. Additionally, the Trump administration supported a project to build a pipeline from Basra in Iraq to the port of Baniyas, with a capacity of up to two million barrels per day, in order to diminish reliance on the Strait of Hormuz and to establish alternative security and economic strategies for oil transportation.
