“President Trump on Tuesday attacked European allies for not doing more to support the U.S. in its war with Iran and signaled they will have to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on their own. This was the third time in recent days that Trump signaled publicly he could end the war in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. would be leaving other countries to clean up a hugely consequential economic quagmire and restore the flow of roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. When asked about Trump’s post on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stopped short of calling the strait’s reopening a core objective.” (03/31/26)
