President Trump said on Friday that he received a call from NATO in which the alliance offered help in opening the Strait of Hormuz.

"Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL." It wasn't clear from the post who in NATO the president spoke with.
