Trump says nations upset by high fuel prices should 'go get your own oil' amid strait closure

DUBAI: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, March 31, said nations upset by high fuel prices should "go get your own oil" as Iran maintains its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump expressed his frustration toward allies that have been unwilling to help the US reopen the critical passageway in a social media post. “Go get your own oil,” Trump wrote.

He also said they should buy from the US because “we have plenty.”

His comments in a social media post on Tuesday came as average US gas prices shot past USD 4 a gallon.
