US President Donald Trump has once again lashed out against Great Britain and other countries because of what he sees as a lack of support in the Iran war. All countries that would not be able to get oil due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, “such as the United Kingdom, which has refused to take part in the beheading of Iran.” should either buy their oil in the USA or fetch it themselves from the Strait of Hormuz Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
A significant part of the world’s oil trade normally passes through the strait, but the war has almost completely blocked the important trade route. Countries like the United Kingdom must “learn to fight for yourself”it continues, “the United States will no longer be there to help you, just as you were not there for us.” “Get your own oil!”said Trump.
Since the beginning of the Iran war, the Republican has repeatedly criticized European countries and NATO partners who, in his view, have not given enough support to the USA. Recently, Trump also called on several countries to participate in the military security of the Strait of Hormuz.
