WATCH: Trump says other nations can 'fend for themselves' in Strait of Hormuz after U.S. leaves Iran

President Trump said Tuesday that other nations can secure their own interests in the Strait of Hormuz and should "go get your own oil," signaling a shift away from U.S. military commitments to protect one of the world's most critical shipping lanes. The remarks came as Trump has repositioned U.S. policy toward Iran, moving away from the previous administration's diplomatic approach. The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-third of global seaborne oil passes, has long been a focal point of U.S. naval operations aimed at countering Iranian threats and assuring allied access to energy supplies. Trump's comments suggest he expects European and Asian allies to take greater responsibility for regional security, a stance consistent with his broader "America First" foreign policy. The declaration could reshape energy security calculations for oil-dependent allies and signal potential reductions in U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf.
