US President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the refusal of allies to join his initiative to create a coalition to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening them with a refusal of further support.


«Go get your own oil!» — Trump to allies

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, got angry and told allied countries that did not support his call to create a naval coalition to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iranian forces, that he will not support them in anything else for denying him his support.

«To all those countries that can't get fuel for airplanes because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion: first, buy it from the United States: we have plenty of it; and second, gather a little of the courage that has been lacking so far, go to the strait and just take it», he wrote this Tuesday on Truth Social.

Trump affirmed that his allies «will have to start learning to fight» for themselves, since his country «will no longer be there to help them», just as they «were not there» to help the USA.

«Go get your own oil!», he added.

«Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is already done», he pointed out.
