US President Donald Trump said he is “demanding” that other countries contribute to the defense of the Strait of Hormuz as it remains effectively closed to oil tankers.
“I really am demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory,” he told reporters Sunday on Air Force One, declining to name specific nations. “It’s the place from which they get their energy, and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
