Trump stated that the U.S. blockade on Iran is aimed at preventing Iran from extorting or blackmailing the world. He added that the U.S. does not rely on the Strait of Hormuz, saying: 'We don’t use that strait,' and claimed that the U.S. has 'more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia.' Trump said 'many countries' are turning to the U.S. for the 'best and sweetest' oil and hinted that the situation 'might be resolved before then.' When asked if other countries would support the blockade, he said: 'We don’t need other countries,' but claimed some nations had offered to help, adding that he would announce details tomorrow.
