US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he does not want a ceasefire in the ongoing war with Iran. He also said that the Strait of Hormuz will open on its own when the time comes and it would be good if China joins it.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that a lot of help is needed to get safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. It would be good if countries like China and Japan join this.
‘Don’t want ceasefire’
Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Trump ruled out a ceasefire, saying, “Look, we can negotiate but I don’t want a ceasefire. You know, there is no ceasefire when you are completely destroying the other side.”
Will Israel be ready to end the war?
When asked whether Israel would be ready to end the war once the US completed military action, Trump said, “I think so.” The US President criticized Britain and said that it should have acted faster in providing support in military action against Iran.
Trump once again targeted members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and their military allies, including China, for refusing to help open the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz transports about one-fifth of global oil and natural gas flows.
What did you say about China and Japan?
The US President said about Hormuz, “NATO can help us, but they have not yet shown the courage to do so. Talking about the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said on Friday that there will come a time when it will open on its own. He also said that a lot of help is needed for safe passage through Hormuz and it would be good if countries like China and Japan join it.
Since the beginning of the war, the Iranian military has completely surrounded the Strait of Hormuz, which has severely affected maritime traffic and has led to a huge increase in energy prices globally.
