Donald Trump warns oil supplies could run out in weeks if Hormuz stays closed

President Donald Trump told reporters at the G7 summit in France that global oil reserves could be exhausted in about four weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remains shut. He said the closure would trigger chaos in world energy markets and emphasized the need to reopen the strategic shipping lane.

Trump also threatened to resume bombing Iran if the country breaches a newly signed 60‑day cease‑fire memorandum of understanding (MoU). The MoU, digitally signed by Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, calls for reopening Hormuz, lifting U.S. sanctions, and a $300 billion aid package for Iran’s economy. Despite the agreement, Trump warned, "We will bomb them until they comply," indicating that the United States remains prepared to act militarily if Tehran violates the truce.

The statements were reported by Liputan6.com and CNBC Indonesia.
