Donald Trump issued a shocking demand after the UK refused to get involved in the escalating conflict with Iran.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, the President did not hold back, even warning that the U.S. “won’t be there to help you anymore.” The outburst comes as tensions continue to rise around the Strait of Hormuz. Trump directly called out nations struggling with supply issues, including the United Kingdom, urging them to take matters into their own hands.
Posting online, he wrote: “All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you,” according to Tyla.
He continued: “Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us.
“Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done.”
Trump also issued a final demand: “Go get your own oil!”
King Charles and Queen Camilla will still travel to the U.S. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reportedly made the country’s position clear, saying: “This is not our war and we are not going to be dragged into it.”
At the same time, tensions have not derailed diplomatic plans. The Royal Family has confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla will still travel to the U.S. next month for a state visit.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Melania and I are pleased to announce that Their Majesties, the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, will visit the United States for a Historic State Visit from April 27–30th, which will include a beautiful Banquet Dinner at the White House on the evening of April 28th.
“This momentous occasion will be even more special this year, as we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of our Great Country. I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect. It will be TERRIFIC!”
