Joining us to discuss how Trump has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a tollbooth for Iran with China the winner as it transitions away from oil capturing the solar and EV market while Trump undoes Biden’s alternative energy initiatives and wages war on wind, solar and EVs. Joining us is Rosemary Kelanic, director of the Middle East Program at Defense Priorities who publishes widely on energy security, great power politics, and U.S. grand strategy in the Middle East. She is the author of Black Gold and Blackmail: Oil and Great Power Politics and Crude Strategy: Rethinking the U.S. Military Commitment to Defend Persian Gulf Oil. She has a recent article at The New York Times, “Trump Is Making Jimmy Carter’s Mistake on Iran and Oil” and an article we discuss at The Washington Quarterly, “The Real U.S. Energy Security Problem—And How to Fix It.”
