Donald Trump said...

If France or some other country wants to get oil or gas, they'll go up through the strait, the Hormuz Strait, they'll go...

We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on

I vowed not to let Israel or America’s friends in the Persian Gulf 'get hurt or fail in any way, shape, or form.'

Look, problem with the strait, guy can take a mine, drop it in the water and say, 'Oh, it's unsafe.'
