"Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others affected by this artificial restriction will send ships to the area," Trump writes on the Truth Social platform.
Since the outbreak of war two weeks ago, Iran has attacked and threatened shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz - through which approximately a fifth of the world's oil production passes.
"Meanwhile, the United States will bomb the crap out of the coastline and continuously shoot Iranian boats and ships out of the water," the president continues.
The Truth Social post also contains a contradictory statement that the US has "destroyed 100 percent of Iran's military capacity", while saying it is still easy for Iran to strike the important waterway with drones, missiles and mines.
"One way or another," Trump wrote, "the strait will soon be open and safe."
Several in the family dead
In another post, Trump emphasizes that a joint effort to secure traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is necessary.
"This should always have been a team effort," he writes.
The statement comes after Trump previously criticized allied countries. A week ago, for example, he dismissed Britain's idea of sending aircraft carriers to the Middle East with "We don't need them anymore."
