US President Donald Trump announced that if necessary, American naval forces may begin escorting tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This information was published by him on the social network Truth Social.
According to Trump, he instructed the US International Development Finance Corporation to provide political risk insurance and financial security guarantees for maritime cargoes moving through the Persian Gulf, at a "very reasonable price."
He also noted that this service will be available to all shipping companies. "If the need arises, the US Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump added.
