Trump criticizes European allies for not helping fix the damage his war against Iran has caused
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized European allies on Truth Social, demanding they secure the Strait of Hormuz themselves and telling nations to "Go get your own oil!" and "build up some delayed courage."
- Trump's rhetoric reflects growing annoyance with NATO allies for failing to support the U.S.-Israel war effort, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued Tuesday that the U.S. has done "the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world" regarding Iran.
- British Defense Secretary John Healey announced the United Kingdom is bolstering air defenses in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia to assist Gulf partners against Iranian attacks, while Trump rated French President Emmanuel Macron an "eight out of 10 on Hormuz."

- Experts like Jeremy Shapiro of the European Council on Foreign Relations suggest Europe should focus on diplomacy, arguing that offering an "off-ramp that flatters Trump's vanity" could help stabilize the Strait of Hormuz and address economic consequences.
