"If we ever needed help, they won't be there for us. I've just known that for a long period of time... We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already... My attitude is, we don't need anybody. We're the strongest nation in the world. We have the strongest military by far in the world we don't need them."
"The crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is escalating as President Donald Trump waffles sometimes by the minute on whether the U.S. expects or needs or even wants help in securing the critical waterway."
"We're now more than two weeks into this war. Oil and gas prices only climbing, the national average now $3.70 a gallon for gas. That's more than 75 cents higher than it was just a month ago. That has the administration looking for any way to get more oil flowing as soon as possible."
CNN's Kasie Hunt presented time-coded video evidence showing President Trump making contradictory statements about U.S. assistance needs in the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Within a 35-minute span, Trump stated the U.S. wouldn't receive help if needed, then claimed some nations were enthusiastically coming to assist, later asserting the U.S. doesn't need anybody because it has the world's strongest military. The crisis occurs as oil and gas prices climb, with national average gas prices reaching $3.70 per gallon, up 75 cents in one month. U.S. officials are reportedly attempting to build an international coalition to secure safe passage through the critical waterway.
