Speaking this morning on Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the United States does not need the Strait of Hormuz, and efforts to reopen it would provide more of a benefit to Europe and the NATO, adding that, โ€œOf course we want the Strait to be open for the global oil market and to stabilize prices and bring them down again. And we have options, the military has options to continue doing that, but the President is right to call on our allies to step up to do more.โ€
