Now, the big island that Trump has been looking at is Karg Island, which is the main location for Iran's oil infrastructure.

And Trump's really been talking about it a lot over the last few days, saying he could knock it out, knock out their oil on the island at any moment, which, though, would be a very risky move to try and seize that island because it would mean troops on the ground.

And it's very uncertain how the American public would respond to that, especially if it drags the U.S.

into a wider conflict.

Yeah, it's been a real tough road for the president on that front.

I mean, he continues to put pressure on allies and anyone who would listen to help reopen that strait.

You know, he actually claims that he doesn't need help, but he is putting tremendous amount of pressure.

willpower and energy to push allies to do that.

I was with him on Sunday when he kind of kicked this pressure campaign off.

And it's just been day to day going after allies using every push and pull that he can.

The reality, though, is he really needs help to reopen the strait.

Clearly, he can't do it on his own.

Clearly, the U.S.

can't do it on its own.

And he needs that straight to be open basically to end this war.

Because if he doesn't, as you kind of point out, Iran is going to kind of continue to keep this stranglehold on oil markets.

Everyone is seeing oil prices are surging and anyone who's been driving down the road can see that at their gas pump.

Yeah, President Trump's acknowledged that yesterday, saying that he needs $200 billion to continue the war.

Now, he says it's not just for the war.

It's for other services.
