@external_idea @RealDonKeith They will need to follow maritime law and marine insurance is mandatory for very good reason. No insurance leaves you mad liable for any jettison cargo that can happen at any point.

@RealDonKeith Best part is, US insurance must follow US law. Not for ships that illegally go to Iran. Not for the shadow fleet. Look at what we required of ships the last time we did this, same rules. Many players shall not qualify.

🚨Lloyd’s of London (the 300-year-old king of marine insurance) just canceled ALL war-risk coverage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz and Keir Starmer let it happen. The U.S. Government? Immediately steps in, takes over the contracts, and offers cheap political risk insurance + Navy escorts. H/T: Samuel Armes

@RealDonKeith You literally know nothing. Lloyds as well as being an insurer is a marketplace where many companies sell marine insurance including companies such as AIG.

@Artemisfornow Lloyds underwrites based on RISK. If the risk changes, the premiums change (hence war risk clauses). Global insurers underwrite through Lloyds, it is a market so Trump is saying he will cover global marine claims via the treasury.

In the game of “Make America Great Again chess”, President Trump just checkmated Starmer. War risk insurers including Lloyd’s of London have withdrawn cover for tankers using the Strait of Hormuz. Without that war risk cover, tankers face huge premiums or can’t operate, this massively drives up costs and delays shipments. Trump has ordered the US to provide government backed political risk insurance and, if necessary, escort tankers with the US Navy. He is directly stabilising energy flows, ensuring global markets keep moving, and taken business away from an area dominated by London marine insurers. Britain could have done this, except Starmer didn’t notice and er … we only have about one working ship in our navy.

@CrimPracMan @donmcgowan He bankrupted a casino

@donmcgowan I hope it works out for everybody. Trump's never been an insurance broker before.

Anyone care to venture a guess as to Trump's latest scam? If you said — 'by forcing all maritime traffic to buy insurance through him' — your prize is in the post.

@Roslyn_6780 @donmcgowan Wait until the claims start coming in, under insurance is much more expensive than no insurance. Look at satellites being insured for launch under marine policies and look at how costly that was.

@donmcgowan That’s a lot of business Lloyds of London have just lost.

@objkshn @donmcgowan @oufenix Facts, and the markets will know that they won’t have the protections on their policies that they have from London. Trump is not a reliable business partner.

@donmcgowan @oufenix They aren’t buying insurance but a lawsuit. He’s never paying out in the event of a claim.

@Class0305 @donmcgowan Why would an insurance market protect the movement of trade, they assess risk and have very deliberately put war risk clauses into their contracts.

London market and the global marine insurance system are cancelling or refusing certain war-risk coverage for ships in the Gulf, which effectively prevents many ships from sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. Just because the feckless UK doesnt have the presence to protect the movement of trade through an area, doesnt mean we wont. Look up Nash's Equalibrium.

@TraceyRyniec @ces921 It’s such nonsense

@ces921 Yes. Apparently, the DFC can just step in with "expertise" on insuring the world's ships when Lloyds has done it for hundreds of years. Apparently, the US is going to "take away" the insurance business now.

Ugh. Now everyone about to become experts on the US Development Finance Corporation to figure out its ability to insure the global maritime fleet when Lloyds of London, with over 300 years of experience, has said its not really interested in playing right now. When do we rest?

@Lukbut @KobeissiLetter It’s not even logical, marine cargo insurance is mandatory so unless it’s being “underwritten” by the US government (no idea what that could possibly look like or how long out would take to set up) there is nothing that can be done to stop premiums spiking or being refused.

Here’s why it matters: Right now, oil doesn’t just move based on supply It moves based on insurance If insurers pull war-risk coverage, ships won't sail Because liability becomes unquantifiable So if the U.S. steps in to backstop insurance: They’re basically saying: "We will socialize the risk to keep oil flowing" Oil spike because ships stop moving But if ships keep moving the panic stops

BREAKING: The US is considering providing military protection to oil and gas tankers traveling in the Strait of Hormuz in an effort to contain energy prices, per Politico. Details include: 1. Trump Administration is considering having the US government back insurance needed for tankers 2. US looking for ways to mitigate insurers canceling war-risk policies 3. Natural gas and oil supplies from Qatar and Saudi Arabia are a key focus 4. Restoring access to Strait of Hormuz is being viewed as "vital" President Trump is clearly focused on surging energy prices.

@Southpaw_Tra @KobeissiLetter @rpachigo123 American insurers trade through Lloyds.

@KobeissiLetter @rpachigo123 Quite the reach on America First agenda wouldnt we all say?

@BucktonMel91596 @KobeissiLetter It’s a marketplace. Global shipping insurance goes through Lloyds, not London based. The largest GLOBAL insurers all trade through Lloyds. If they’re cancelling policies, they know why.

@KobeissiLetter He wants to mitigate insurers' cancelling ship war policies? That is a commercial decision mainly by London based shipping insurance companies. So that is going nowhere. He has treated the UK abominably.

@SteveSkojec @K2020Cat lol, this is not the flex you think it is.

This is a ballsy power play by Trump. Lloyd's of London was the gold standard for maritime insurance policies until just a day or two ago when they started cancelling policies or jacking them up 3-5X. Others insurers followed. That collapsed commercial shipping traffic through Hormuz, which choked oil shipments out of the Middle East. Trump doing this means the DFC has the chance to displace Lloyd's as the big dog in this game, when they have been the lock-in player for many years. It also frees up all the oil that was getting trapped there, heading off shortages and keeping the energy market alive. And why not? It's the American navy that sunk the Iranian ships that were harassing tankers. And the American Navy -- at least for now -- will keep those tankers safe. It's a huge reassurance to allies -- both oil producers and oil consumers -- that our campaign in Iran isn't going to sink their economies. And it allows America to be choosy about traffic in the Strait. It also potentially means billions of dollars in insurance premiums at wartime rates going to America instead of the UK. And those rates are STILL going to be cheaper than what shippers were getting.

@LeoKearse @grok what is the breakdown according to the latest census of the constituents of Gorton and Denton by race?

The by-election in Gorton and Denton shows that democracy can't survive in a multicultural country. It just becomes a demographic head count. People no longer vote according to values or policy, they vote according to tribal loyalties and concerns. As the non-native population grows it will vote for redistribution of wealth from the native population, assisted by leftists who ally with them against their common enemies of "capitalism", "the nation state" and "attractive, successful people". This is already happening - look at the Green Party. Why did you think the left brought these people in? Unless British people realise what's happening and deal with it (unlikely because it would mean rejecting the national religion of multiculturalism, saying no to women and being a bit mean to people who hate us), the best we can hope for is South Africanisation; a dwindling productive population squeezed by an increasingly bitter and entitled majority. Worst case scenario: Lebanon.

@EshaAA33 Seahorse because it be short.

What animal does not belong: Dolphin, Shark, Octopus, Seahorse, Crocodile, Whale?

@TUMADRECONHO @darier57 @reformparty_uk @GoodwinMJ I literally said this out loud to myself when I read this comment.

@darier57 @reformparty_uk @GoodwinMJ Why ?

Matt Goodwin is the Reform UK candidate for the Gorton & Denton by-election. 🇬🇧

@GoodwinMJ It is a by-election for a constiuency just outside Manchester. Not a referendum on Kier Starmer.

I will be standing for Reform UK in the Gorton & Denton by-election on February 26th. This election is a referendum on Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. If you want him out, vote Reform.
