Trump Offers Straits of Hormuz Naval Escorts, Political Risk Insurance
"It came as little surprise that, in response to Operation Epic Fury, there quickly followed reports that Iran was threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump took to Truth Social and announced a counter-offensive:
"Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States

Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States’ ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP." RS
