President Donald Trump, who claims he’s been negotiating with Iran, now claims that the Strait of Hormuz is “not important” to the United States. But as the war wages on, fuel prices continue to climb and hurt consumers throughout the US.
When asked by a reporter how close Trump is getting to forming a coalition with allies to protect US tankers and warships, he said that there’s already one in place. He continued, “But they should have been up here a long time ago.” He’s referred to other allies who had cold feet in joining the war.
