Byron Donalds, Florida governor-elect · affermato il 8 nov 2026
On 8 November 2026, on NBC's Meet the Press, Florida governor-elect Byron Donalds said more oil was going through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, citing a Wall Street Journal report. That report, based on Kpler ship-tracking data, covered total Persian Gulf exports in the week to 18 October, including pipelines that bypass the strait. The case turns on whether data show flows through the strait itself back at or above the pre-war level of roughly 23 million barrels per day.
In the week to 18 October, oil shipped out of the Persian Gulf region averaged more than 24 million barrels a day, against 23.3 million before the war. This total counts pipelines to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman, not only the strait.
