Trump Criticizes Allies Amid Rising Fuel Prices and Iran War

On Tuesday, Donald Trump expressed his frustration with U.S. allies, specifically the United Kingdom and France, for their unwillingness to support U.S. military efforts against Iran. He stated that they should "go own oil" as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to rising fuel prices, with Brent crude hovering around $107 per barrel.

Trump referenced a U.S. strike that hit Isfahan, Iran, causing significant disruptions and contributing to the conflict that has resulted in approximately 3,000 deaths since the war began on February 28, 2026. He criticized France for not allowing U.S. military supplies to be transported through its territory and mentioned Italy's refusal to permit U.S. military assets to operate from Sigonella Air Base in Sicily.

Trump's comments reflect a broader concern about the implications of Iranian attacks on energy infrastructure and the global oil market.
