In his statement, the US President said, "I have instructed that political risk insurance and financial security guarantees be provided for all maritime trade passing through the Gulf, especially energy shipments, at a very reasonable cost.
The US Navy will begin escorting tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, if necessary," he said.
