BREAKING: Trump accused of straight-up extorting Gulf allies for $5 TRILLION to keep his Iran war going – or $2.5 trillion to stop it

An Omani journalist and international affairs expert just dropped a bombshell on the BBC: the Trump administration is pressuring Gulf Cooperation Council states to cough up massive cash to either continue or end the war in Iran.

According to sources, Trump is demanding $5 trillion if the Gulf wants the war to keep going, or $2.5 trillion to make it stop.

This is classic grift: Trump starts an illegal war that’s already killing U.S. troops, bombing schools, shutting the Strait of Hormuz, and spiking gas prices worldwide – then turns around and tries to shake down rich Gulf allies for trillions to either fund it or bail him out.

The council has publicly opposed the war and denied letting the U.S. use their territory, yet evidence shows American rockets firing from Gulf soil and U.S. warplanes crossing their airspace.

Now that Iran has hit back hard, striking oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf, forcing production cuts and massive economic losses all over the region, the stakes have become red-hot.

The Gulf states are pulling back trillions in global investments – including $1.2 trillion pledged to the U.S. economy – both to punish Trump for starting a war that wrecked their oil revenue and tourism, and to protect their own money from more chaos if he escalates the war further. Now they’re hit with the old “Nice country you’ve got there,” gambit.

This isn’t leadership. It’s Trump treating foreign policy like a protection racket: start the fire, then demand payment to put it out or keep it burning.

While American families pay more at the pump and troops die, he’s allegedly trying to extort allies for trillions.

If Trump demanding $5 trillion from Gulf states to fund or stop his own war feels like straight-up mafia tactics, like and share to call it out.See more, details. .
