1:55Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump reiterated his appeals for help from other nations to secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying that Iran was nearly obliterated even as the war keeps roiling oil markets and global shipping. #trump #politics #iran #worldnews #israel #usa
“Numerous countries have told me they’re on the way — some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren’t. Some are countries that we’ve helped for many, many years,” Trump told reporters Monday during a White House event.
The president expressed his frustration with US allies and other economies, who have so far been publicly noncommittal on his calls to help ensure vessels can transit the strait, which has been effectively closed since the start of the war, crunching global energy supply chains. Trump called out NATO and others, claiming they had leaned on the US for “tens of billions of dollars” in protection, yet failed to act when asked.
