Trump says US allies should take responsibility for Strait of Hormuz once Iranian regime “finished off”

By Kevin Liptak

President Donald Trump suggested today that American allies should take sole responsibility for policing the Strait of Hormuz if the United States causes the Iranian regime to collapse.

“That would get some of our non-responsive ‘Allies’ in gear, and fast!!!” he continued.

Trump has been criticizing European nations after they rebuffed his demands to send warships to escort oil tankers through the strait.

Many leaders said they could be willing to join a coalition to patrol the contested waterway once active hostilities end.
