President Donald Trump is growing frustrated that allied countries are not stepping up to help the U.S. in its war of choice with Iran.
In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump encouraged "all of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz" to buy American oil instead. The post criticized countries that "refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran," explicitly naming the United Kingdom, and urged them to "build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.…The U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us…Go get your own oil!"
