According to Trump, prices other than oil are temporarily falling quickly. He further claimed that oil prices would drop sharply once the military conflict with Iran ended and said the confrontation would not continue for much longer.
Demand for payments over Strait of Hormuz security
Trump also called for countries that benefit from security around the Strait of Hormuz to pay the United States for protecting the key oil route.
He alleged that other countries had not helped the United States during the continuing conflict with Iran. At the same time, he said oil was still moving through the important maritime passage.
