The first thing that happened when Donald Trump’s “excusion” began was that the Strait Of Hormuz was closed off, thereby bottlenecking a great deal of the world’s oil supply. Evidently Trump has come to realize that this is not a good thing and so he’s determined to form a coalation of countries which will escort boats through the strait, according to an exclusive from the Wall Street Journal.

The Trump administration as soon as this week plans to announce that multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition that will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which runs along the Iranian coast, U.S. officials said. They are still discussing, however, whether those operations would begin before or after hostilities end.

The White House declined to comment on the expected announcement, which could shift depending on battlefield conditions. Publicly, many countries have been noncommittal to such an escort mission until hostilities cease, given the risks involved.

In a Sunday joint statement, the foreign ministers of the U.K. and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council said GCC states “have the right to take all necessary measures to defend their security and stability and protect their territories, citizens and residents.”

This is a developing story and will be updated as developments come from the Journal or other sources.

  1. So we see here, in his usual fashion, Dementia Donny, The Dimwit starts something that has bad consequences, which he didn’t think of because duh!, and now expects everyone else to clean up the mess he made.

    It’s just like all his businesses, the casinos, the airline, the university, the water, etc, etc. He makes the disaster while siphoning off as much money as he can, and then leaves it up to anyone else but him to resolve all the problems he’s caused.
