U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that nations that have been unhelpful should reimburse the United States once the Iran conflict concludes, as the U.S. seeks international assistance in restoring free and secure passage through the vital Strait of Hormuz. The president shared his thoughts on social media platform Truth Social on Monday, as South Korea was contemplating whether to deploy its armed forces to aid in securing the waterway, a critical shipping route for oil, natural gas, fertilizer and other goods.
