Trump calls for coalition to protect Hormuz

President Donald Trump says he has demanded that several countries join a coalition to help protect the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil flows through the key waterway, making it vital to international energy markets. Trump says nations that rely heavily on Middle East oil should help police the strait, though he did not name the countries involved. He says discussions are underway as concerns grow over ongoing disruptions in the region.

Talks begin on future of USMCA trade deal

Negotiations are beginning on the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a pact that governs more than $1.6 trillion in annual trade between the three countries. The deal allows much of the commerce across North America to move duty-free, supporting industries ranging from agriculture to manufacturing. But President Donald Trump is pushing for changes to the agreement and has said the United States could withdraw if a new deal is not reached. U.S. and Mexican officials are starting talks this week, with Canada expected to join discussions later.

Military Identifies 6 Killed In Iraq Aircraft Crash

The U.S. military has identified the six service members killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq last week. Officials say the crew members were assigned to National Guard and Air Force units in Alabama, Florida and Ohio. U.S. Central Command says the crash occurred in friendly airspace during operations connected to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The KC-135 plays a critical role in refueling aircraft midair and supporting missions across the region.

Trump may delay China trip over Hormuz crisis

President Donald Trump says he may delay a planned trip to China as he pressures Beijing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In an interview, Trump said China benefits from the key shipping lane and should play a role in keeping it open, as disruptions continue to threaten global oil flows and raise energy concerns. The Strait of Hormuz — a vital route for international trade — has faced severe interruptions during the war, prompting warnings about economic impacts worldwide. The comments come as U.S. and Chinese officials hold trade talks in Paris tied to preparations for the potential visit.

Strait Of Hormuz disruptions push oil above $100

Tensions in the Middle East are intensifying as Iran and Israel exchange new strikes across the region, raising concerns about wider instability and energy security. In the Gulf, an Iranian drone strike near Dubai sparked a fire and forced the airport to suspend flights, adding to regional disruptions. The conflict is also affecting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical waterway for global energy trade — pushing crude prices above $100 a barrel as markets react to supply risks. President Donald Trump says he has asked several countries to send warships to help protect the strait, but so far none have agreed to join the effort.

Trump Threatens More Strikes On Iran Oil Hub, Says No Deal In Sight

President Donald Trump says he is not prepared to reach a deal to end the war with Iran and has threatened additional strikes on the country’s main oil export hub, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. Speaking over the weekend, Trump said further action could target Iran’s Kharg Island, a critical terminal that handles the vast majority of the country’s oil exports, and warned that operations could continue if Tehran does not change course. Trump also signaled that negotiations to end the war are not imminent, saying the terms are “not good enough” at this time, even as global oil markets remain volatile amid disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz — a vital waterway through which roughly 20% of the world’s traded oil flows — has been heavily affected by the conflict, contributing to sharp increases in crude prices and raising concerns about broader economic impacts. U.S. officials have indicated that military operations could continue as long as Iran’s capabilities remain a concern, underscoring uncertainty about when the fighting might end.

Zelenskyy criticizes US oil sanctions waiver

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is criticizing a U.S. decision to temporarily waive some sanctions on Russian oil. Zelenskyy says the 30-day waiver, issued amid the Iran war, is “not the right decision” and could provide Russia with about $10 billion to fund its war against Ukraine. He made the comments during a news conference in Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. Zelenskyy says revenue from energy sales is used by Russia to purchase weapons for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
