Iran attacks Kuwait, Israel after Trump sets deadline for deal
AI Summary
In March 2026, amidst a month-long war with Iran that disrupted global markets and increased energy prices, former US President Donald Trump urged countries to either purchase oil from the United States or take it from the Strait of Hormuz. Trump criticized nations like the United Kingdom and France for not supporting US-Israeli strikes against Iran. He suggested these countries, facing jet fuel shortages due to the Strait's closure, should assert themselves and seize oil, implying the US would no longer provide assistance. Trump also cited France's refusal to allow military supply flights to Israel as further justification for his stance. His statements were made via a Truth Social post.
