Chris Wright is the United States Secretary of Energy. He has recently been involved in discussions regarding the potential use of US naval escorts for commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and faced scrutiny after deleting a social media post concerning a US military operation.
“THE NATION THAT LEADS IN AI WILL BE THE MILITARY SUPER POWER. THAT HAS BEEN AND MUST REMAIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
“the US energy secretary... Chris Wright, he comes out um and he announces that the US Navy has successfully escorted a tanker through the straight... as it turns out, it was either a lie uh or it was untrue.”
“In it, Chris Wright claimed that the US military had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormos.”
“Is the straight of Hormuz safe for shipping right now, Mr. Secretary? >> No. No, it is not.”
“MEANWHILE ENERGY SECRETARY CHRIS WRIGHT SOUNDED OPTIMISTIC THAT THE CONFLICT A NUMBER ON WILL NOT DRAG ON FOR MONTHS. I THINK THIS CONFLICT WILL COME TO THE END AND THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.”
“U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY CHRIS WRIGHT TOLD NBC NEWS ON SUNDAY THAT THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE GAS PRICES COULD DROP BELOW $3 A GALLON BY THE SUMMER.”
“US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says naval escorts could begin later this month. It'll happen relatively soon, but it can't happen now.”
