President Donald Trump does not appear to regret his more adversarial strategy toward allies, even as many resist his calls for help with the Strait of Hormuz. 

Instead, more than two weeks into his war against Iran, Trump is portraying the resistance as proof of his point that the world is overreliant on the U.S. and that he should put “America First,” particularly considering the world will reap the rewards if the U.S. can assert control over the strait.
