US EditionTrump Calls on Seven Countries to Join Coalition to Secure Strait of Hormuz
Trump urged seven oil-dependent countries to join a coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian attacks disrupting one-fifth of global oil shipments, with no commitments yet.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump demanded that approximately seven countries, including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, deploy warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz. No nation has publicly committed to the coalition.

- Despite Trump's request, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated Monday that her country has "no plan to dispatch" naval vessels, while Australia confirmed it will not send ships to the region.
- The International Energy Agency announced Sunday that nearly 412 million barrels of emergency oil stocks will flow to global markets immediately, representing the largest collective action ever to stabilize prices.
- President Trump warned that failing to assist could jeopardize NATO's future and indicated he may delay his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping to pressure Beijing into helping reopen the strait.
