President Trump’s Powerful Leadership Highlights American Strength as Energy Dominance Delivers Global Stability

President Trump’s Powerful Leadership Highlights American Strength as Energy Dominance Delivers Global Stability

The following is from the Trump team. 

President Donald J. Trump has directed a bold and decisive U.S. naval blockade to counter Iranian aggression and restore safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz — a masterstroke of American leadership that showcases a level of power and strength the world has never before witnessed.

As this historic action unfolds, America’s record-breaking energy production is providing a critical lifeline to the world. Thanks to President Trump’s American energy dominance agenda, the U.S. stands as the world’s top energy producer and exporter — ready to supply reliable, abundant energy to nations cut off from Middle Eastern crude.

Signs of American energy leadership are immediate:

  • As of yesterday, 167 crude tankers had declared U.S. destinations, with 103 empty vessels heading to American ports to load U.S. crude.
  • Of those, 54 were Very Large Crude Carriers, each capable of carrying approximately two million barrels.
  • Many had recently unloaded elsewhere and are now steaming to the Gulf of America — including 20 empty tankers under European flags and 20 under Asian flags.

After just one year back in office, President Trump’s pro-energy policies have shattered records and secured America’s position as the undisputed global energy leader:

  • U.S. natural gas production hit a record 118.5 billion cubic feet per day, with new record highs forecasted in both 2026 and 2027.
  • America became the first nation in history to export more than 100 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a single year — reversing years of Biden-era restrictions.
  • Oil production reached an all-time high of 23.6 million barrels per day.
  • U.S. offshore oil production also set a new record.
  • The Trump Administration opened vast new areas for oil, gas, and coal development, approved nearly 6,000 drilling permits on federal and Native American lands (a 55% increase over the prior year), and advanced multiple new LNG export terminals.
  • Today, the United States produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined and more natural gas than Russia, Iran, and China combined—securing its role as the undisputed global energy leader.

President Trump’s energy dominance agenda is more than policy; it is American strength. While adversaries weaponize energy, America delivers it.

      • Trump made himself look bad by initiating a total unnecessary war with Iran and now we're all having to pay the consequence of this poor decision.

        • Iran has been holding the USA and world hostage since 1979.
          Iran has conducted or supported numerous attacks on U.S. interests since 1979 and is now assessed as posing a nuclear threat. The Islamic Republic, through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and proxy networks, has been responsible for over 1,000 American deaths since the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis. Key attacks include the 1983 Beirut embassy bombing (17 killed), the 1983 Marine barracks bombing (241 killed), the 1996 Khobar Towers attack (19 Americans killed), and over 180 attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria between 2023 and 2024.

          Iran’s nuclear program has escalated to a critical stage. By mid-2025, Iran had amassed 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, placing it within a one-week breakout window to weapons-grade material. U.S. officials, including former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, have argued this constitutes an imminent threat due to the difficulty of verifying whether weaponization has already occurred. A 2022 interview with former Iranian official Ali Motahari, resurfaced in April 2026, confirmed that Iran’s nuclear program was initiated with the goal of building a bomb for deterrence, contradicting Iran’s official stance.

          • Says the guy with a single digit IQ and needs to have a name that insults others.
            Talk to the hand.

          • haha oh my username handle triggered you. Good! That’s why I created my profile to trigger Leftist NaziFASCISTs like you. LoL
            CRY!! CRY!!! hahaha

        • Yeah I wish everything was cheaper too. I still say this will help the USA and everyone around the world in the long run. Little pain now

      • Yeah, it's only an extra few thousand dollars a year for those with an average commute to work. Besides, Iran is about to surrender any day now and turn their country over to us, according to Trump.

    • Not sure where you live $5.65 avg in FL which is not the cheapest State for gas. But at least we have a President who is flexing his muscle against one of America and the world's dangerous enemies instead of running up the price of gas because of Green Energy scams, criminal invasions of our Country and arming world terrorists with our military equipment. We all know these higher prices are temporary, where they were permanent under Biden, and once Iran is dealt with the prices will come down.

  1. This is all good, more good paying jobs, more consumer spending, more business growth, more economic boom!

        • Saudi Arabia subsidizes its gasoline, with their government setting what the price of gas would be. Is that what you want here?

          • Yes because i didn’t know that. Thank you. Also you do not need to be so hostile in your posts. Some of us are not all – knowing as you.

          • Saudi Arabia has successfully bypassed the Strait of Hormuz by utilizing the East-West Pipeline (Petroline) to transport oil across the kingdom to the Red Sea. As of March-April 2026, this pipeline is operating at its full capacity of 7 million barrels per day (bpd), allowing shipments to reach the port of Yanbu.

            Did they have some inside information from the Trump Team?

          • Probably did have a heads up. But that’s not enough. About 21 million barrels normally traverses the Persian Gulf every day.

          • I can't wait to see his explanation er I mean fantasy answer.
            He'll just ignore you is my educated guess.

          • I think that the "long game" here is that Trump is trying to temporarily shore up the world economies that are dependent on Persian Gulf oil. He's doing such by encouraging them to buy US oil in its place. However, this will come at a cost to US consumers by further increasing gas prices due to the increase in demand for US oil.

    • Less money to spend on other things because the energy cost are driving other markets higher, wages aren't keeping pace.

      • Highest nationwide average price for gasoline during the Bidumb Admin: $5.07/gal.
        Current nationwide average price for gasoline: $4.05/gal.

        • You’re right. However, the argument that prices are less bad than they were doesn’t work for me. Blowing the crap out of Iran for Israel’s sake has put a burden on Americans that we didn’t vote for. Have a blessed day.

    • He's been an uncorrupted businessman who made his own money with his family. He's seen the long game our uniparty with the Kentucky Pauls have been harming us with. He knows energy is our life blood. We'd be totally screwed with anyone else. Vance and Rubio will be fine afterward.

  2. The next thing Trump should do is to take oil off the trading block for ups/downs…that way gas stations can't jack up the price if something happens around the world. The gas in their tanks was purchased with $50 a barrel, yet they gouge everyone when something like this happens…stop the scam now Trump.

    • That's the free market at work: efficiently managing supply, demand – and especially allocation – in real time. Government must NEVER control prices; the warmth of collectivism will fry us all.

  3. The gas I have to put in my car is $5.00 a gallon. Food prices aren't going down, they're going up. Coffee is $6.50 for less than a pound. Mayo in a small jar is $5.50.

    I voted for Trump three times, but this doesn't sound like a golden age to me.

  4. Trump may well be a narcissus, but he is also a master of the deal, and he is devoted to the welfare of America and its people, even the ones who hate him.

  5. And Trump haters continue to whine and moan.. we are witnessing one of the greatest world leaders in history work his magic.

  6. I am glad to hear of these things as I've often wondered about the "Drill baby, DRILL!" mantra of POTUS.
    Well good.

  7. From the article: As of yesterday, 167 crude tankers had declared U.S. destinations, with 103 empty vessels heading to American ports to load U.S. crude.
    Of those, 54 were Very Large Crude Carriers, each capable of carrying approximately two million barrels.
    Many had recently unloaded elsewhere and are now steaming to the Gulf of America — including 20 empty tankers under European flags and 20 under Asian flags.
    In relation to paragraph two.
    The United States consumes 20, million barrels of oil, daily.

    This war has the potential of leading to a global famine and worse.

  8. Should we be selling our petroleum to other nations? I don't like the D policies when it comes to energy but I can see an advantage to not using the petroleum that is here and instead buy it from other nations. Some day the world will run out of it or what is left will be too difficult to extract. Then our domestic crude and gas can be extracted. I would also build more nuclear and upgrade the electrical grid so we can implement a sane electrification of society. Anything that can be switched to electric should be but not if it would require humongous batteries to store electricity.

    • How do you know the world will run out? Is that like knowing Evolution is real?
      You don't really know how monolithic this world is do you?
      Now how much known oil we have just in the USA. 2 Trillion barrels? Minimum?
      Too difficult to extract? Like flying, space, 1500' oil tankers? That kind of impossible?

      • I don’t think there are very many people who don’t recognize petroleum is a finite resource, with the timeline for turning organic materiel into oil, we are using it faster than nature can create more of it. According to the oil producers we are having to do much more to create new wells. I never said it was impossible, just getting more difficult to extract it.
        To me it makes strategic sense to use other countries oil while saving ours for the future. Like I said, I don’t agree with the D’s policies, I just see an advantage to keeping ours until we can’t buy anymore from others.

        • Well. I am of the small, very small group that thinks Jesus made this huge planet perfectly fine for Man. It was Perfect after all.
          Abiotic Oil is what I would rely on as opposed to fear and marketing.
          Harley Davidson was so close to bankruptcy for so long. New CEO came in and cut production. Boom Scarcity and HD making big money since.

  9. President Trump’s Powerful Leadership Highlights American Strength as Energy Dominance Delivers Global Stability

    DID somebody in government pay your mortgage this month Joe?

    WTF is this crap?

      • Everything can have a number of interpretations…

        Like that talk of AIRLIFT into the mid east….

        I bet that story is just fictional blips the moron set think are actually C-130 sending in more war and death….

        They are deluded…. and the network will not be ignored.

        It is by me, But the many are committed .

  10. President Trump's leadership has gotten the US into an unnecessary war with Iran. Countries all over the world are starving for oil. At present there isn't enough to go around as evidenced by higher prices for oil, gas, jet fuel, diesel.

    Gas prices over 30% higher
    Oil prices over 40% higher
    Jet fuel over 100% higher
    Diesel over 50% higher

    This is not leadership. This is a disaster……….

    • That isn't even factoring in the severe global fertilizer shortage and price spikes, as roughly one-third of the world's fertilizer trade, particularly nitrogen-based urea, has been disrupted by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Farmers globally face urgent shortages, particularly in Asia and Africa, threatening lower crop yields and higher food prices.

      Leadership my arse……

      • Farmers across the U.S. are facing severe financial strain from soaring diesel prices, which have doubled in some areas to over 4 dollars per gallon. These costs, combined with high fertilizer and transportation expenses, threaten profit margins, with some farmers facing 40% higher operating costs. This pressure limits farming sustainability, potentially causing some to halt operations.

        Leadership? America First?

  11. Must be the new definition of success,an unnecessary war on behalf of Israel,attacking THEIR enemies for them,costing us unnecessary money and blood and then we sell our resources and OUR prices go up.
    WINNING!!!!!
    Yeah I'm tired of all this winning.

    • You forgot the stealing of other countries' resources.
      Btw, he's full of crap. NO WAY we have enough oil & lng to supply 'the world'. If we did I'd like to know why he dipped into our half refilled reserves. He's the Trojan Horse that put the final nail in the US' coffin.

  12. And this is how a SUPERPOWER should act FTW. Trump with a stroke of genius just cut the knees out of the globalist.

  13. There has been an increase in cyber security attacks of US energy, electrical grid and water plants by what are believed to be Iranian cyberattack teams. They appear to be ‘mapping’ and testing the vulnerabilities of US energy, electrical grid & water infrastructure. A successful cyber attack on these critical resources would be catastrophic for the US.

    If the US attacks China’s ships, China may respond with cyber attacks on U.S. energy infrastructure. 80%-90% of US transformers that make up the US power grid come from one company in China. If these transformers suffer a cyber attack from China and are taken offline or damaged there will be no parts available to rebuild/restore these transformers. It will be Catastrophic.

    • Chill,the Bard should not be worried.
      We are in the hands of a stable genius playing 4D chess.
      Or on the verge of world catastrophe,take your pick.

      • The Chinese & Iranians have VERY GOOD cyber attack teams. They have ‘mapped’ their targets and accessed their vulnerabilities. They may have installed back doors. The US energy grid is at risk.

    • Yes. Everything is a possible CATASTROPHIC Even.
      Yes. Super Catastrophic. Time for you to go write some more catastophic statements.

    • Lots of ifs, could, might in your horror stories.

      PS-
      I know for a fact we mfg transformers, grid equipment here in the USA. Examples, Virginia Transformer in Casper WY, Sweitzer Laboratory in WA and ID for 2.

    • When hasn’t there been cyber attacks on our systems? It’s been on going ever since the net was invented.

    • THey will tell you its a small price to pay not to get nuked,even if we wern't going to get nuked to begin with.
      THe odd went up after Trump fixed everything.

    • Tell your 'friend' it's still lower than the depends usurper ever had it. And it will come back down.

      • You’re absolutely correct, but being ‘less bad’ doesn’t make it right. We shouldn’t be fighting for Israel. Not that long ago a lot of the talk was centered around ending these neverending middle east wars. I may end up being surprised when this thing ends and I find out that all of blood and treasure spent on this operation was worth it and if so, I’ll gladly admit that I was wrong. Just like I was wrong 25 years ago when I supported GWB and his administration’s war because I believed the WMD bs. I don’t hate Israel either. It just seems to me that whenever Israel says “Jump!” , America says, “How high?”. Have a great day.

    • My gas just dropped $.15/gal over the past week. I'm now at $3.29. What did you say when gas hit $5/gal under Joetardo?

      • I said it sucked, like everything else about that scumbag’s fraudulent administration. Gas where I am is $3.65 right now. That’s more than a dollar increase since we started doing Israel’s bidding.

        • If it doesn't go down by the summer as analysts predict, then you vote DemonRAT again and then REALLY have bichout when the DemonRAT vermin president makes gas go to $10/gal and make you drive an EV. And eat BUGS with their war on animal protein. Until then, <click>…. blocked like all the other "Content unavailable" posts I see here.

  14. I’ve noticed a pattern on how President’s treat their VPs and senior military:
    – Tump sends Vance to fail at Iran peace talks. Diminishes Vance. Possibly killing his chance to be President.
    – Biden Kamala Harris to be border czar. Immigration fails miserably because of open border. This failure still follows her around ….. most likely ending any political career.
    – Bush sends Colin Powell to make case for the Iraq war. Bush knew it was a lie That failure & lie followed Powell to his death.
    Lesson: President’s are only concerned with THEIR legacy. No one else’s. In the event of a failure, they will choose a scapegoat.

  15. My wife and I received 2 of our 2026-Q1 MFS statements. We’re retired and we lost tens of thousands just in these two accounts. Worse than under Bidiot. We didn’t worry when we worked figuring we had time to ride it out. Well we’re at the end of riding it out. I told the wife we’re no longer MAGA , we’re now MMAGA
    Make
    My
    Accounts
    Great
    Again

    • ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      Chinese bot… and you do not have to annouce your departure as if this was an airport or train station.

  16. Trump has done the opposite and de-stabilized the entire world economy. Why does Hoft think he can just lie to everyone?

  17. When will the FUEL SHORTAGE SCAMMERS doing far more than PRICE GOUGING be JAILED???
    WHEN WILL FUEL PRICES DROP BACK TO NORMAL?
    THEY SHOULD DROP TO 50% OF NORMAL TO PAY US BACK !!!!!!!!

    THERE NEVER WAS A SHORTAGE ! ! ! !

    • So this is what we get? I'll take a boom in oil production making us a world leader any day with the would coming to us to buy our oil and Iran getting choke out of the market by Trump's action. And the glaring reality of your comment is, you a total imbecile so please leave your comment there for all to see what a imbecile you truly are.

    • We’re all pleased and relieved that the biden/harris disaster is behind us. Thank god for Trump and MAGA.

  18. Best thing Trump could do right now is push a federal tax holiday until the end of the year…it would relieve a lot of pain at the pump…

    • Unfortunately, it can't stop states from taxing gas. The 10th amendment does not allow the Federal Government imposing no tax on gas by states. I wish he could though.

        • Oh, you did not say INCOME TAX, and said it would relieve pain at the pump so, it was indicative that you were speaking about gas tax.

          "Best thing Trump could do right now is push a federal tax holiday until the end of the year…it would relieve a lot of pain at the pump"

        • Only Congress can cut income tax. A President has no power to change congressionally passed laws only Congress can.

  19. AWESOME!! Keep up the good work and pay off our deficit sooner than later!!
    Ever consider a Vance/Trump ticket 2028!!

    • My hope is that he will eliminate the income tax soon and STILL pay off the debt. I know he's planning if the democraps just back off.

  20. Trump is going be a hero and Democrats are scared shitless 7 Presidents said Iran should be taken out and none had the balls until Trump…Yes we have some short term pain until the OIl market sorts it out and it http://will.How do I know this the stock market is telling me what happens 6 months forward ..Not investment advice but commonsense. The USA will own the OIL markets which is great for America..A silver lining…

  21. Trump runs the Venezuela oil and gas sales and US oil and gas sales. Bust Iran and the world will see energy flows that are economy building along with lower prices. Trump knows everything flows from energy availability.

  22. Kharma's a pitch! This'll make our wrag hedid, so-called "allies" become willing partners to open Hormuz now! Crude may stay near/at/above $100/barrel, but it won't be going into THEIR pockets now……LMAO.

      • You must be looking in the mirror right FASCIST? The war will be over before a week passes. MAGA President Trump. Too bad Trump succeeds again. You NaziFASCIST kids paid by Soros would rather have the whole world nuked than see Trump succeed again. CRY!!! Hahaha

      • Terror Nation Iran chants “DeathTo America” . They want to get a nuclear bomb and use it. You want WW3? That’s an existential threat .You didn’t know that? You are not MAGA.
        Terror Nation Iran has started this war since 1979.

        Iran has conducted or supported numerous attacks on U.S. interests since 1979 and is now assessed as posing a nuclear threat. The Islamic Republic, through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and proxy networks, has been responsible for over 1,000 American deaths since the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis. Key attacks include the 1983 Beirut embassy bombing (17 killed), the 1983 Marine barracks bombing (241 killed), the 1996 Khobar Towers attack (19 Americans killed), and over 180 attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria between 2023 and 2024.

        Iran’s nuclear program has escalated to a critical stage. By mid-2025, Iran had amassed 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, placing it within a one-week breakout window to weapons-grade material. U.S. officials, including former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, have argued this constitutes an imminent threat due to the difficulty of verifying whether weaponization has already occurred. A 2022 interview with former Iranian official Ali Motahari, resurfaced in April 2026, confirmed that Iran’s nuclear program was initiated with the goal of building a bomb for deterrence, contradicting Iran’s official stance.

  23. Every modern day president but Trump has been beholden to someone and or something so they were not able or willing to do this but could have if they had the freedom to do so. It's why they hate him.

  24. Excellent report Joe (and team). I find it amazing that the big media has not picked this up (actually expected they would not) but there is a bottom line (or several). 1) The USA now controls oil and China is dependent. 2) The USA now can actually set prices. 3) This translates to both economic and world political power.

  25. I hate to say it…. But here goes….

    President Trump threw the JEWS onto the war bonfire.
    This Iran attack is not it as it seems…
    Just look at the TARGETS hit… Most are Jewish.

    You could even say, President Trump has been doing a bunch of WAGGING the DOG over war talk and WHO is getting their snot punched in.

    Iran is not the problem, THE JEWS American invaded PALESTINE with in 48' is the PROBLEM.

    GENOCIDE is a very dangerous game today.

  26. Spin it however you want – if gas prices are still high in November, the republicans will get hammered.

    • At this point, Republican weakness has already determined the election. Democrats should have an easy time of taking over Congress.

  27. I wish I got paid for this, but alas, it’s simply my view on things. I’m also quite intelligent and don’t care one iota what you think.

  28. I still don't understand how gas prices can be as high as they are….can anyone explain? Oil is now abundant. Right>?

  29. It all sounds great! When will the national debt start to get paid down and when will NG and gasoline prices plummet?

  30. Tell me where in Alabama I can purchase coffee for $2.86…I believe you are delusional…

  31. Joke of an article. Fuel costs for Europeans are up 40 to 100 percent since the Iran war. And no BS article from Hoft is going to blur that harsh reality. Stability my arse

  32. Never claimed to be an investor. Our FA set these accounts up for us decades ago before his passing. They have always had ups and downs but never such a hit in a single quarter. Be a wise azz. You’ll be a senior some day and you will walk in our shoes.
