Trump has shit fit after he fails to convince European allies to help in war with Iran [View all]

Donald Trump’s brief and aggressive attempt to corral an international coalition to police the Strait of Hormuz concluded in disappointment on Tuesday, leading the president to lash out at European nations that rejected his demands to help with his war against Iran.

“We don’t need too much help,” a frustrated Trump said in the Oval Office, where he was hosting Ireland’s taoiseach for St. Patrick’s Day. “We don’t need any help actually.”

It was a striking turnabout for the president, who had spent the last several days ardently insisting other countries send their warships to the strait to escort oil tankers. Iran has effectively shut the waterway, a key shipping lane for about 20% of the world’s oil, sending global energy prices soaring.

Trump had framed his demands as a test of loyalty, suggesting dispatching naval vessels would amount to a “very small endeavor” for countries that rely on the United States for their security. He said Tuesday that some countries were on board, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, though he did not specify in what capacity.
