Kevin Hassett - A month or two until oil shipments return to normal

About this episode

Kevin Hassett discusses the timeline for global oil shipments and refinery operations to return to normal after the Strait of Hormuz reopens.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated that it will take one to two months for global oil shipments and refinery operations to fully return to normal once the Strait of Hormuz completely reopens. Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Hassett explained that while the geopolitical blockade has severely disrupted energy markets, a logistics timeline is the primary factor delaying immediate relief.
