WHITE HOUSE SAYS ALLIES SHOULD “DO MORE” – Trump says UK should assist in reopening Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump is speaking with European allies and many other nations about opening the Strait of Hormuz, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday (March 16).
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that Britain would not be drawn into a wider war in Iran but would work with allies on a “viable” plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The war in the Middle East is creating the biggest oil supply disruption in history, the International Energy Agency said on Thursday, as major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE cut production.
Leavitt told reporters Trump was “absolutely right to call on these countries to do more to help the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, so that we can stop this terrorist regime from restricting the free flow of energy.”
