On today’s show, President Donald Trump has reiterated his appeals for other nations to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, voicing his frustration with those that have been publicly noncommittal.
Meanwhile, Iran stepped up attacks on energy infrastructure, with operations suspended at the Shah natural gas field in the UAE due to a fire, while a drone attack temporarily shut the Fujairah port.
Trump said he asked Beijing to delay his meeting with Xi Jinping for about a month, saying it was important for him to remain in Washington to oversee the Iran war.
