U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is not ready “quite yet” to withdraw U.S. military support from efforts to force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil and fuel flows, while urging allies to take on a greater role.
Trump said this during a phone interview with CBS News, reiterating his frustration that key U.S. allies like Britain had refused to take part in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. “Countries have to come in and take care of it,” he said.
