Trump calls on UK to send warships to keep strait of Hormuz open
AI Summary
Donald Trump urged the UK and other nations via his Truth Social platform to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil trading route, following recent attacks on ships and its effective closure amid conflict with Iran. Trump claimed the US has already destroyed Iran's military capabilities but that Iran still poses a threat to the waterway. He suggested countries affected by the closure, including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK, should contribute ships to ensure the Strait remains open and safe.
