Trump now says the US doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz and threatens to leave its security to other countries: “To see if that gets them to act fast” US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his country doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to leave its control to the nations that depend on the strategic oil and gas waterway and have not heeded his call to guarantee security in the maritime passage, which is blocked by Iran. “I wonder what would happen if we ‘killed’ what’s left of the Iranian terrorist state and let the countries that use it, not us, take responsibility for the so-called ‘strait.’ That would get some of our unresponsive ‘allies’ to get their act together—and fast!” he wrote on his Truth Social network. https://es.head-post.com/index.php/2026/03/18/trump-says-now-that-the-united-states-does-not-need-ormuz-and-threatens-to-leave-its-security-to-other-countries-to-see-if-they-get-their-ahead-quickly/
