Xinhua News Agency, Washington, March 31 — U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media on March 31, saying that all countries unable to obtain aviation fuel due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, such as the UK refusing to participate in the fight against Iran, “My advice to you: First, buy from the U.S., we have plenty; second, muster up the courage to seize it at the strait.”

Trump also said: “You need to start learning to fight for yourselves; the U.S. will no longer help you. Iran has basically been defeated. The hardest part is over. Go handle your oil yourselves.” (End)
