On Monday, President Donald Trump made it clear that the United States will no longer provide free protection for the crucial oil route known as the Strait of Hormuz. This decision marks a pivotal shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding the region.
Trump asserted that America should take control of this critical passage and ensure that it is compensated for maintaining its safety. Such a move aims to establish a more formidable stance against Iran’s threats and protect American interests.
