“This is not Europe’s war,” the EU tells Washington in a bruising rebuke on Iran even as oil prices rise.

Europe’s message to Donald Trump on Monday was clear: We’re not helping you secure the Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign ministers from the 27 EU countries gathered in Brussels to discuss the American president’s call for European countries to help secure the narrow waterway, a vital oil shipping channel that Iran has largely blocked in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.

Among the ideas floated was expanding the mandate of the EU’s naval mission — Aspides — to allow European warships to be sent to patrol the strait between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

    JD actually blamed the higher oil prices on Biden already, it’s only a matter of time before Hunter Biden and Hillary’s emails are also blamed! It’s unbelievable yet on par for the man child who has never been told no.
