European countries reject Trump’s call for help to reopen strait of Hormuz

AI Summary
Several European countries, including Germany, Italy, and the UK, have rejected Donald Trump's call for military assistance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump requested NATO members send warships to protect commercial vessels and ensure oil shipments through the vital waterway, which has been effectively closed by Iran amidst a wider regional conflict. European leaders emphasized diplomatic solutions, with Germany explicitly ruling out military participation, stating "This is not our war." While the UK is working on a plan to reopen the strait, they are not looking to be drawn into a wider war. Other countries, including Australia, France and Japan have also stated they have no plans to send warships.
