President Donald Trump issued a sharply worded statement on Tuesday addressing global energy disruptions tied to tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, urging U.S. allies to take independent action to secure fuel supplies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that countries facing jet fuel shortages, including the United Kingdom, should turn to the United States as a supplier while also taking more assertive steps to secure their own resources.
“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.”
-Donald Trump, President of the U.S
His remarks come amid heightened geopolitical strain affecting the critical shipping route and energy markets.
