What Trump said after not responding to the call to save the Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has called on various countries to cooperate in securing the Strait of Hormuz, an important sea route for world oil transportation, after it was closed due to Iran. Different countries have given different reactions to this call by the US President. However, Trump did not receive a positive response from most countries.

Regarding the response of the countries, Trump later said, 'Many countries are coming forward to help the United States deal with the Strait of Hormuz crisis.'

Although he did not mention any country by name.

The US President said, 'Many countries have told me that they are coming. Some countries are very enthusiastic about this, and some countries are not so much. There are some countries that we have helped for many years. We have protected them from terrible external threats, but they are not showing much enthusiasm. And their level of enthusiasm is important to me.

In an interview, Trump warned that NATO’s future could be “very bad” if its allies don’t help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Al Jazeera, Trump wrote in a post on his Truth social platform, “I hope China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others who are suffering from this artificial restriction will send ships to the area. As a result, the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be threatened by a nation that is completely leaderless.”

The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaza Kalas, said that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open was in Europe’s interest. However, he also noted that it was outside the scope of NATO’s activities and that there were no NATO countries in the strait.

A German government spokesman said, “This war has nothing to do with NATO and it is not a NATO war. The country's Foreign Minister Johan Waddefull said that he does not see any role for NATO members in the Strait of Hormuz.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that his country is trying to develop an effective joint plan with allies to quickly restore freedom of navigation in the region and reduce its economic impact.

Although Trump did not directly request Australia, Australia's Transport Minister said that their country does not plan to send any ships to the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also did not hesitate to call on China, known as an ally of Iran, to save the Strait of Hormuz. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, avoiding the question of whether the United States had received any request in this regard, said, "All parties should immediately stop military action, not escalate tensions and ensure that regional instability does not have a major impact on the global economy."

Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament that they have no plans to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz for the time being.
