Trump Says Securing Strait Of Hormuz Is 'Not For Us'
President Donald Trump expressed frustration with allies who have been unwilling to support the US war effort, telling them to secure the Strait of Hormuz on their own. The conflict with Iran has driven up global oil prices and caused major disruptions to the world's supply of oil and natural gas.
President Donald Trump said securing the Strait of Hormuz is not the US's responsibility. The strait is a vital waterway through which a fifth of the world's oil is transported. Trump told reporters that countries relying on the strait should keep it open. The US and Israel launched a war against Iran over a month ago, leaving over 3,000 dead and disrupting global markets. Iran's attacks on regional energy infrastructure have driven up global oil prices. The US has struck back with attacks on Iranian targets, including the central city of Isfahan.
