Trump Tells UK to “Take” Oil from Strait of Hormuz, Criticizes Allies for Lack of Support

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a striking statement regarding the ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking about countries struggling to secure jet fuel, including the United Kingdom, Trump suggested: “Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty. Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!” Trump’s comments come amid escalating tensions in the region, following U.S. operations that targeted Iran’s strategic capabilities. The statement highlights his criticism of U.S. allies for not joining what he describes as decisive action against Iran. The remarks are expected to stir debate over international energy security, alliance responsibilities, and the role of the U.S. in global conflicts.
