Just Go and Get Your OWN Oil: Trump, Hormuz & the End of Guaranteed Alliances

Statements by Donald Trump that U.S. allies should “secure their own oil” in the area of the Strait of Hormuz reflect profound changes in international politics and energy security.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has lashed out at the UK and other countries, telling them to “go get your own oil” from the Strait of Hormuz. “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself; the USA won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.
