PANews reported on March 17th that, according to Jinshi, White House economic advisor Hassett commented on Iran: Oil tankers have begun passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran will end in the short term. This will be over in a few weeks, not months. We have plans for the chaos every quarter. The plans include fertilizer and fuel shipments to the West Coast. President Trump will not back down until this (action against Iran) is done. There are concerns that Asia may be reducing its oil exports to the United States.
