Trump urges countries to secure own fuel supplies, criticizes UK stance
US President Donald Trump urged countries facing jet fuel shortages due to disruption in the Strait of Hormuz to secure supplies themselves, while criticizing the United Kingdom’s stance on the conflict with Iran.
“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 US, we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA 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!” he added.
