President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, framing the move as necessary to protect maritime trade.
"If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States' ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come," Trump said on Truth Social hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to attack any ship attempting to cross the strait.
The statement comes as vessels cluster near the chokepoint and insurers raise premiums or limit war-risk cover, increasing pressure on shipping lines and energy traders reliant on the passage.
