Will President Trump attempt to end the war in the Middle East, without re-opening the Strait of Hormuz?

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at long time allies telling them they can get their own oil from the Strait of Hormuz.  

In a message on social media - directed at the UK - he wrote, "You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won't be there to help you anymore just like you weren't there for us."

So, how likely will President Trump attempt to end the war in the Middle East, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining largely closed?
