In a decisive statement, former President Donald J. Trump announced immediate measures to safeguard maritime trade in the Gulf, particularly energy shipments. He directed the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to offer political risk insurance and guarantees for the financial security of all shipping lines operating in the region, ensuring coverage at “very reasonable” rates.
Trump further stated that, if necessary, the United States Navy would begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to maintain uninterrupted energy flows. “No matter what, the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world,” he affirmed, underscoring America’s economic and military strength as “the greatest on Earth.”
The directive highlights the strategic importance of the Gulf for global energy supply and signals Washington’s readiness to use both economic and military tools to secure international trade routes. Trump concluded his announcement by promising additional actions in the near future.
