Tanker Headed to China Clears the Strait of Hormuz After Meetings with President Trump

The U.S. continues to enforce the blockade, while China expressed interest in increased oil imports from the Persian Gulf. Despite this transit, tanker traffic through the Strait remains significantly constrained due to ongoing tensions.
