This is a true investment.

in your children and your grandchildren's future.

The United States imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait.

and won't be taking any in the future.

We don't need it.

We haven't needed it and we don't need it.

Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain, they've been great and we will not let them get hurt or fail in any way, shape or form.

The countries of the world that do receive oil through the hormone straight must take care of that passage.

They must cherish it.

They must grab it and cherish it.

They can do it easily.

We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on.

Iran has been essentially decimated.

The hard part is done, so it should be easy.

And in any event, when this conflict is over, the Strait will open up naturally.

It'll just open up naturally.

They're going to want to be able to sell oil because that's all they have to try and rebuild.

It will resume the flowing and the gas prices will rapidly come back down.

There's never been anything like it militarily.

Everyone is talking about it, and tonight I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.
