Trump Calls For Coalition To Protect Hormuz
7 hours ago
President Donald Trump says he has demanded that several countries join a coalition to help protect the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route.
Roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil flows through the key waterway, making it vital to international energy markets.
Trump says nations that rely heavily on Middle East oil should help police the strait, though he did not name the countries involved.
He says discussions are underway as concerns grow over ongoing disruptions in the region.
