US President Donald Trump Urges UK To Secure Hormuz Oil, Deepening Western Rift | ET Now World

U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked controversy after urging the United Kingdom to secure its own oil supplies from the Strait of Hormuz, intensifying tensions within Western allies over the ongoing Iran conflict. In a strongly worded social media post, Trump suggested that countries like the UK should “go to the Strait and just take it,” signalling a potential shift in Washington’s security commitments. The remarks come as European nations including Spain and Italy resist deeper involvement in the conflict, while UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out sending troops, stating, “This is not our war.” The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global oil chokepoint, and the escalating rhetoric highlights growing divisions within the transatlantic alliance. #etnowworld, #trump, #iranwar, #uk, #hormuz, #straitofhormuz, #oilcrisis, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #usuk, #starmer, #middleeast, #globalsecurity, #nato, #energycrisis, #worldnews ET Now World — your trusted destination for the latest updates from the world of finance, economy, markets, corporate affairs, and global trade.
