Trump criticizes Syria as alternative to Hormuz
The American president, Donald Trump, stated that Syria is promoting itself as a competitor to the Strait of Hormuz, with Damascus attempting to use the port of Baniyas to transport oil and goods instead of the strait. Syria is seeking to establish a pipeline, supported by the Trump administration and Chevron, to transfer around two million barrels of oil daily from Basra to Baniyas, as part of a project aimed at bypassing the impact of navigation disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. If successful, this project could diminish the importance of the strait in international oil transit.
