Donald Trump: 'go get your own oil' |
The US president plumbed new depths of petulance with a social media post telling countries that "refused to take part in the decapitation of Iran" that they were on their own. "The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!" He suggested that countries that were short of oil should buy it from America – "we have plenty". It sounds as if he is becoming worried about rising gas (petrol) prices in the US, having realised that prices there follow international markets even though the US is a net exporter. A few moments later, Trump announced that King Charles and Camilla will make a state visit to the US on 27-30 April. Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat leader, has renewed his call for the trip to be cancelled. |
