US President Donald Trump has threatened or used force against countries representing roughly one in 11 people worldwide, according to a CNN analysis.
The report followed Trump’s remarks during a White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, where he warned Oman over tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route.
“Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow ‘em up,” Trump said.
The Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil shipments, has faced growing risks amid tensions in the Middle East.
According to The Guardian, the comments came amid reports that Iran and Oman have discussed possible arrangements involving control or fees for shipping through the strait.
“The Strait is going to be open to everybody,” Trump said while discussing regional tensions. “Nobody’s going to control it.”
CNN said US forces have conducted strikes in multiple countries during Trump’s presidency, including Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Oman is at least the 15th country Trump has threatened, suggested he could attack, or targeted militarily during his time in office.
