Trump Accuses Western Allies of Ingratitude After Refusing Strait of Hormuz Escort Request
Some US allies have rejected a request from President Donald Trump to deploy warships for escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
Reuters reported that Trump accused Western allies of ingratitude, stating they were unwilling to cooperate despite decades of US support.
The criticism comes amid the third week of war between the US, Israel and Iran, during which the Strait of Hormuz -- a route carrying about 20 percent of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas -- remains largely blocked.
Trump's remarks highlight tensions among allies over responding to the disruptions in the vital shipping passage.
