Donald Trump has proposed a new policy approach for the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route for oil. Under the plan, the United States would reduce its unilateral military role in protecting international oil tankers transiting the strait. Instead, Trump suggests that nations heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil, such as China and Japan, must secure their own commercial vessels or financially compensate the United States for providing maritime security. This shift reflects a broader strategy prioritizing American energy independence and reducing overseas military expenditures.
- The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime transit point, accounting for a significant portion of the world’s daily oil shipments.
- Donald Trump’s proposed plan calls for foreign nations to take active responsibility for protecting their own commercial ships transiting the region.
- Under this policy, countries relying on the strait would need to deploy their own naval escorts or reimburse the United States for security operations.
- The proposal aligns with assertions that the United States is less dependent on Middle Eastern oil due to increased domestic energy production.
- The plan aims to reduce the financial and military burden on the United States armed forces in the Persian Gulf.

"It's gonna take I think two weeks"
Trump, months ago.
There’s no plan. There’s never been a plan. And that’s why Trump lost the war he started.
Trump ❤❤❤❤
"two weeks"
what control? it is open 😂😂😂
so he started all that and now is charging for the mess?
Something doesn't quite add up. Trump strategy now is obviously "bomb Iran until it yields," then why keep Israel on the sidelines?
"Trump is a buisness man. . ." Only in his own mind.
BBC Al Jezeera
The strategic energy reserves are emptying
Sooner or later the price of Energy will reflect reality
Given the differences and mistrust a long conflict is most likely
is the new plan to keep doing the same thing and making more money off the markets?
You know darn well, Trump didn't actually write any books and many say he has not even read them.
I am so tired of British media pretending that Trump is rational and continue to support him when he has no respect for you.
What's the US plan for reimbursing the rest of the world for the damage they caused, that's a plan I'd like to learn more about.
250,000.
The Democratic Party in the United States can not let Trump win in Iran. They need him to lose.
The ships and containers of Trump, Banjo and NATO are banned in the strait of Hormuz. They will not receive oil and gas from the Middle East and Russia for air strikes and missiles.
So basically you haven’t got a clue! If you want oil, the US had plenty!
have the juus approved the plan yet?
Trump is the greatest disaster that has ever occupied the White House. Absolutely the stupidest president ever. American elected this orange imbecile. TWICE! The orange idiot has started another forever war in the Middle East. America will suffer BIGLY.
"I have a cunning plan!"
There is no plan .
The cause and foundation of the problems is Italy and France Paris and America in jesus mighty names Amen?!!!!??!! Salam Aleikum,,,,, wa Aleikum salam
Trump hasn't got a plan. When he does finally get a plan, it will almost certainly be a bad plan.
Trump a businessman? How many bankruptcies, including running casinos into the ground? He’s nothing but a conman.
The speed of development over time? 🤨 Israel is extremely wary of Iran 🤨 Iran is waiting for the first missile from Israel 🤨 And Iran will wipe out the state of Israel 🔥
Trump is screwed. His confidence at policy making, laughable. I’ve seen steelier decision making by a cat on a freeway. Trump doesn’t have the brain power to get himself out of this mess he’s made. He’s surrounded by people dumber than he is. This is the beginning of the end of his presidency.
Imagine making your racist dementia ridden Grandfather the most powerful person in the world… no wait! That actually happened!😂
Trump the Chump doesn't represent the typical American.
New plan?
There was a plan?
I was working as a contract employee in the same field based on a recommendation from a director I had previously worked part-time for, and then I transferred to a company with a higher-ranking supervisor. However, I discovered that my supervisor, Mr. Han, was having an affair with a woman named Ms. Jeong, who had worked at a bar. Ms. Jeong only assigned me tasks when Mr. Han’s supervisor’s family was visiting. I found this strange. At the time, I was unaware that they were having an affair and simply performed my assigned duties diligently. Although I felt subtly uncomfortable while working, I approached it with the thought, "Surely not," but that thought later turned into certainty. A while ago, I went to a company dinner, and the seat next to the boss was empty. Before the food and drinks were even served—while only the side dishes were provided—I was sexually harassed by Mr. Han and asked my team leader for help. For reference, it is well known among my colleagues and ex-boyfriends that I get drunk after just one sip of alcohol. Ms. Jeong, his mistress, told me not to be introduced to men through coworkers. I asked, "Why?" but received no answer. Mr. Han, who committed sexual harassment, installed a CCTV above my seat, and the footage was recorded so close up that even text messages were clearly visible. When I confirmed this and informed his mistress, Ms. Jung, the footage from my seat had disappeared. Another female coworker who had introduced me to a man was suddenly advised to change jobs and subsequently moved to a different company. I do not like Korea University or Yonsei University. In particular, I am sick and tired of the harassment from other families, such as the Han and Min families. I want to fight back against those who disparage me. Even the President of our country is shielding and hiring entertainment industry criminals who exploit my life to create music and sell products, and the Democratic Party is using this for their own political gain. I feel disgusted by Korean entertainment agencies and celebrities, including YG,SM, HYBE, JYP and KOREA Entertainment. They are psychopaths who run businesses by stealing the lives of others and sell products using names that evoke the owners of those exploited lives. I feel truly repulsed and humiliated.
😱 omg finally he has a plan 😱
He promised to destroy a civilisation. Which is the special relation Britain will have in this. Is that a question the BBC will put up? No, of course not, the beep has enough to do with defending what the ICJ has not yet called a Genocide but most of the world has.
Mad dog 🐕 of America 🇺🇸 wants to control the world 🌎
Why does the bbc reports just repeat over and over and over … US msm narratives and Whitehouse propaganda 😮
Please tell me Don jr is going to work the toll both!
BEST
Plan?! LOL y'all are nuts.
"A liar, a cheater, and a fraud".
The convicted felon serving as the POTUS has no plan. Incompetent and demented.
Hey there, Britz, how’d you like that soccer game ha ha
Simple Truth is there is no end in sight for this war for Trump, Bibi used him to get what he wanted and now bibi has taken a back seat and trump is in the firing line.
The only reason Iran exists today is because of its long range ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Iran has been well prepared for a very prolonged conflict in 40 years with the USA at any cost and Iran always controls the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump escalates further, and Iran was climbing on the escalating ladder. Yes, Iran takes casualities, but it was also able to destroy and downgrade US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and UAE.
Trump is mad,, please stop the war,, If this war does not stop now,Then it will become a world war,, please save our world,,
Its amazing how these guys say we were wrong all this time and go on to make more predictions.
You need control to have a plan and the usa do not have it and will not get it unless they put troops on the ground
bold of you to call it a "plan" when he is just making it up to manipulate the markets
