Donald Trump is making threatening remarks toward countries that have been longtime supporters of the United States amid his ongoing war with Iran.
On Tuesday morning (March 31), the 79-year-old president took to social media to slam foreign countries who have ignored his repeated pleas to step in and help him secure the Strait of Hormuz, a stretch of water through with oil moves in the Middle East.
In a series of posts, he said that the countries, such as the United Kingdom and France, have “refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran” and revealed how the U.S. would respond to them in the future.
He also had a proposal for them regarding how to handle increased gas prices, which have gone up amid his conflict.

In his first message, Trump wrote, “All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
He continued, saying, “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
Trump specifically targeted France in a second post.
“The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the ‘Butcher of Iran,’ who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!” he wrote.
If you missed it, the president recently revealed why he likes to associate with “losers.”
