The ship was carrying steel, not oil.
Does the US have freedom of navigation through the Red Sea or not?
What will you give the Houthis in tribute to secure the safe passage of our ships?
Steel not Oil.

The Straights into the Red Sea are about GLOBAL Trade.

Phook ‘em all.
US, Canada, and Mexico will do plenty without them.
