US President Donald Trump said he expects China's help in resuming shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
"I think China should help too, because China gets 90% of its oil from the strait," the American leader said in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper.
At the same time, Trump clarified that this should happen before his visit to China.
Earlier, Trump called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and other countries to send warships to The Strait of Hormuz.
On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including Tehran, with civilian casualties and deaths reported. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military facilities in the Middle East region.
The escalation around Iran has led to the actual blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, a key supply route to the world market for oil and liquefied natural gas from the Persian Gulf countries, and has also affected the level of oil exports and production in the region
