Trump Says US Should Charge Allies for Securing Strait of Hormuz
President Trump says the United States should take responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz and bill allied nations for protection. He told Fox News he would serve as the waterway’s “guardian” and expects wealthy countries that benefit from the route to share the cost. The strait links the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and carries a significant share of the world’s crude oil and liquefied natural gas. Disruption there could trigger major shifts in global energy markets. His remarks come amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran after recent military exchanges and disputes over navigation. He accused Iran of breaking past agreements and warned that continued confrontation could further destabilise oil and gas supplies.
