President Donald Trump reiterated his appeals for other nations to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying Iran was nearly obliterated even as the war keeps roiling oil markets and global shipping.
“Numerous countries have told me they’re on the way — some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren’t. Some are countries that we’ve helped for many, many years,” Trump told reporters Monday during a White House event.
