After U.S. allies like Britain and France didn't join the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, President Donald Trump lashed out at the European nations, telling countries struggling with fuel shortages to "get your own oil" as the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said "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," should either "buy from the U.S.," or build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT." He added that "the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"
