April 3, 2026 • Google News World

US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire for the world to purchase more US oil. The comments were made in light of recent tensions between the US and Iran.

In a statement, Trump stated that with sufficient time, the US could “take the oil” in Iran. This comment was met with skepticism by some, who questioned the feasibility of such an action.

Separately, four charts have been released that highlight the importance of maintaining access to the Strait of Hormuz for the US economy. The strait is a critical waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and is home to significant oil reserves.

Additionally, Trump has reportedly made a plea to world leaders to assist him in “making a fortune” through his military actions in Iran. This statement was made by a news outlet, which did not provide further details on the context or content of the comment.

Meanwhile, some European countries have expressed concerns about the consequences of US actions in Iran. The situation remains fluid and developments are ongoing.
