US President Donald Trump:
Effective immediately, I have instructed the U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide political risk insurance and coverage at an extremely reasonable price for the financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy shipments, passing through the Gulf. This opportunity will be open to all shipping companies.
If deemed necessary, the US Navy will begin to protect tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible.
Regardless of what happens, the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world. The economic and military power of the United States is the greatest power on earth. More steps will come.
