JUST IN: President Trump Tells Europe and Gulf States to Fix the Strait of Hormuz Themselves Amid Reports That He is Willing to End War Without Reopening Strait – “You’ll Have to Start Learning How to Fight for Yourself. Go Get Your Own Oil!”
President Trump on Tuesday suggested that he will withdraw troops from the Middle East and force Europe, Asia, and the Gulf nations to deal with Iran’s blockade on the Strait of Hormuz after they refused his calls for help.
President Trump previously asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait, but they refused.
“The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump said in a statement on Monday, offering to supply oil from the United States if the countries cannot “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
He added. “Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
This comes amid reporting that Trump is ready to end the war regardless of security in the waterway.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump told aides he may end the war with Iran without reopening the Strait as his timeline for the war of four to six weeks approaches its end.
His plan would then be to leave it for Europe and the Gulf states, who are heavily dependent on the flow of oil through the Strait, unlike the US, to deal with it.
On Tuesday, Trump appeared to move in this direction, posting the following message on Truth Social:
All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and 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 further went off on France for being “VERY UNHELPFUL” in the war:
The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!! President DJT
Meanwhile,
Meanwhile, Trump says Iran is “agreeing with us” on his 15-point plan and that some oil is being allowed to flow through the Strait, but is still leveling threats to decimate Iran if a deal falls through.
“It’s really a new regime. It’s a group of people, people that we’ve never dealt with before, that are acting very reasonable. It is truly regime change,” he told reporters on Sunday.
On Monday, Trump threatened to escalate the war by targeting Iran’s energy and water infrastructure “if, for any reason, a deal is not shortly reached.”
