It's better to do it yourself: US allies heard Trump through the Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump urged oil importing countries from The Persian Gulf to ensure the security of its own supplies. They heard, but are in no hurry to send ships.

France, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom have heard Donald Trump's call to ensure the security of oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. However, they are in no hurry to send ships. This is reported by Al-Jazeera TV channel.

Thus, a representative of the British Ministry of Defense told the American media that the UK "is currently discussing with its allies and partners a number of options for ensuring the safety of navigation in the region. And Japanese officials told local media that Japan would not send ships just because Trump asked.

Also, France will not send ships.

"No, the French aircraft carrier and its group remain in the eastern Mediterranean," the country's foreign ministry said in a statement.

Seoul responded more diplomatically: the South Korean presidential administration will carefully study Trump's appeal and will "work closely" with the United States.

As EADaily reported, US President Donald Trump again announced the defeat of Iran and advised countries that receive oil from Persian Gulf, engage in the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

"The United States of America has defeated and completely destroyed Iran militarily, economically and in all other respects, but the countries of the world receiving oil through the Strait of Hormuz must take care of this passage, and we will provide them with tremendous assistance!", Donald Trump said in a message on the social network Social Truth.
