Chris Wright, secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, said in a social media post earlier in the day that the Navy guided a ship through the strait. He has since deleted his statement. “I was made aware of this post. I haven’t had a chance to talk to the energy secretary about it directly,” Leavitt told reporters. “However, I know the post was taken down pretty quickly, and I confirm that the U.S. Navy has not escorted a tanker or a vessel at this time.”, which has involved multiple countries around the passage.
