Trump rips allies Oman, South Korea amid escalating tensions with Iran

President Trump threatened military action against Oman and ordered reduced joint military exercises with South Korea amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions. The threats represent a significant shift in longstanding U.S. military alliances and Middle East diplomacy.

✦ What This Means For Us

Destabilization in the Middle East and reduced military cooperation with allies could affect ROTC students at HBCUs and Black service members who are overrepresented in the military. Escalating conflict could also disrupt global oil markets and trade routes, raising costs for everything from campus operations to student transportation. Black and Brown communities historically bear disproportionate burdens of military conflict through both service and economic impact.
