New Delhi: Amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump has made an important announcement that may help countries like India.There is heavy fighting between United States, Israel, and Iran. Iran had warned that it could close the Strait of Hormuz. This sea route is very important because about 25% of the world’s oil passes through it. If it is closed, petrol and diesel prices could go up across the world.
Now, Trump has said that the US Army will protect oil ships passing through this route. He said oil supply will continue and there will be no energy crisis because of this situation.Trump also said that ships carrying oil will get insurance support so that companies do not feel scared to send their ships through the area.This news is a big relief for India and other countries that buy oil from the Middle East, as it reduces the fear of fuel shortage and rising prices.
