‘No longer need’ help to reopen Hormuz: Trump

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump, whose call for assistance from allies to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to oil traffic has largely been rebuffed, said Tuesday that US forces “no longer need” military help in the Iran war.

“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Coun-tries’ assistance — WE NEV-ER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea,” Trump posted on his Truth Social network, adding: “WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!”
