Trump repeats calls for other countries to help with Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump is repeating his calls for other countries to step in and assist with the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that it "should have always been a team effort" and insisting that this will lead to "Everlasting Peace."
In a new post on his social media platform, Trump claimed that "the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage" and that the United States will "help."
The president promised that the U.S. will "coordinate" with assisting countries.
The president’s previous post named the United Kingdom as one of the countries that he wishes to see send ships to the Strait. Exactly one week ago, the president appeared to reject possible assistance from the U.K. after they initially refused to allow the U.S. to use British military bases.
"That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!" Trump said last week.
