‘Get your own oil’: Trump launches tirade against Europe for not joining Iran war

Many countries in Europe have called the conflict illegal, with some blocking Israeli and US planes from moving weapons through their airspace

Donald Trump has launched a tirade against European countries that refused to join his war against Iran, calling out the UK and France, as transatlantic relations soured from the spiralling conflict that has wreaked havoc on the global economy.

On his Truth Social website, the US president told governments worried about fuel prices to “go get your own oil” by force from the Gulf, comments that sent oil prices even higher.
