Trump Challenges UK to Secure Its Own Oil Amid Fuel Shortages
US President Donald Trump has sharply rebuked the United Kingdom over its refusal to back potential military action against Iran. He urged Britain to buy jet fuel from the U.S. or “go to the Strait and just take it,” warning that America would no longer come to its aid. Trump made the remarks on Truth Social, accusing Iran of being “essentially decimated” and insisting the hard part of any conflict was already over. He added that the U.K. had not supported the U.S. in past crises, so it must learn to defend its own interests. The comments deepen a diplomatic rift just days after Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed Britain would not join any ground invasion. London is facing growing energy pressures from disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and has called an emergency COBRA meeting to address jet fuel, diesel, and broader cost-of-living concerns.
