President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but his appeals have brought no commitments as oil prices soar during the Iran war. Trump said China gets about 90% of its oil from the strait, while the U.S. gets a minimal amount. Trump didn't directly answer whether his administration is talking about selling oil futures as a way to cap surging oil prices. In just 10 days, more than 800,000 people - nearly one out of every seven residents of Lebanon - have been displaced. Israel's military says Iran is firing cluster bombs that can evade some air defenses and scatter submunitions across multiple locations.
