#TrackNigeria President Donald Trump said on Monday that China, Japan and other countries should be protecting their own ships in the Middle East instead of relying on free U.S. protection.
“China gets 91% of its Oil from the Straight, Japan 62%, & many other countries likewise.
“So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation.
“All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been a dangerous journey,” Trump said in a statement on Twitter. (Sputnik/NAN)
