US President Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy after urging countries that did not support American military actions against Iran to secure their own oil supplies. In a strong message, he told nations facing fuel shortages due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz to either buy oil from the United States or “go and take it” themselves.

Trump specifically criticised allies like the United Kingdom, saying they refused to participate in US-led strikes on Iran and should now learn to manage their own energy needs. He also warned that the United States may no longer step in to assist such countries, stressing that they must be prepared to “fight” for themselves going forward.

The remarks come as tensions remain high in the region, with Iran continuing to restrict movement through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil route. The ongoing situation has disrupted fuel supplies and intensified geopolitical pressure, further straining relations between the US and its allies.
