Trump Says It’s Up to Other Nations to Open Hormuz 'Go Get Your Oil'

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that the responsibility for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open should belong with countries that rely on it, rather than the U.S. 

He said there’s “no reason for us to do this.” Trump expressed frustration earlier Tuesday with allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort,



telling them to “go get your own oil.” 

Trump recently has vacillated between insisting there is progress in diplomatic talks with Iran and threatening to widen the war .

U.S. gas prices jumped past an average of $4 a gallon for the first time since 2022 on Tuesday, as the Iran war continues to push fuel prices higher worldwide.
