The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, quoting people briefed on the discussions.
According to the report, Trump threatened to stop supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.
On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.
Wait a minute…
Why would trump care about a coalition to reopen the strait, if oil prices are going to come “tumbling down” regardless? What an idiot.
Imagine if Iran just kept the strait closed lmao
