President Donald Trump on Monday demanded that countries that didn’t assist the US during the conflict over securing the Strait of Hormuz should reimburse Washington once the situation comes to an end.
Trump said oil continues to flow through the Strait of Hormuz, while arguing that Washington has done more for other nations than it has for itself over several generations.
“The Countries of the World, which have been no help to us whatsoever, should, and will, reimburse the United States of America when this SCAM Conflagration is all over,” Trump said.
Trump said that countries benefiting from the US security of the Strait of Hormuz reimburse Washington for the costs of protecting the crucial oil-shipping route, accusing nations of providing “no help whatsoever” during the conflict with Iran.
Trump also argued that the US was doing more to secure global energy supplies than it was for its own interests and suggested that other nations should bear part of the financial burden.
