## Trump tells UK ‘go get your own oil’ and warns US ‘won’t help you any more’ in latest tirade over Iran war

Donald Trump said the UK should make its own attempts to unblock the Strait of Hormuz to get oil supplies going again (Leon Neal/PA) (PA Archive).

Britain is to deploy extra troops to the Middle East, bringing Britain’s military presence to around 1,000.

Iran has imposed a de facto blockade on the waterway, upending global oil and gas supplies, which have caused energy prices to surge.

It is not the first time President Trump and Sir Keir have been at loggerheads during the war.

Batty’s speech, alongside Karlson’s, is one of the few non-music audio additions to make the collection.

More than 300,000 audio items are now housed in the National Film and Sound Archive, with one-third of the collection classified as at-risk and preserved through digitisation. »
