Trump tells UK, other allies, ‘Go get your own oil!’

Trump urges countries seeking oil to go to Strait of Hormuz and ‘just take it’

US President Donald Trump has told countries struggling with fuel shortages caused by disruption in the Strait of Hormuz to secure supplies themselves or buy from America.

According to Reuters, Trump singled out Britain while criticising allies that declined to participate in US-Israeli strikes against 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 U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote.

“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” he added.

Trump said Iran had been “essentially, decimated,” declaring: “The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
