Peter S. Goodman reports on the mess Trump has made worldwide:
As the war in the Middle East limits the supply of energy worldwide, millions of farmers are contending with scarcity and higher prices for fuel, threatening their access to irrigation and menacing the food supply. Faced with depleted harvests, many rural households in Asia and Africa are borrowing to cover the costs of cultivation, challenging their ability to produce future crops.
In much of the world, the closure of the strait has blocked shipments of food and fertilizer, making prices much higher.
Countries like Somalia and Sudan are suffering extreme hunger and even famine, as the crisis lands atop drastic cuts to the international relief system. [emphasis added]
