U.S. Allies Steer Clear of Naval Mission in Hormuz Strait

“President Donald Trump insists U.S. allies are ready to help him in the Strait of Hormuz. They’re not even close,” Bloomberg reports.

“The UK and France are holding a summit on Friday to discuss the matter as Trump blockades the crucial shipping passage off Iran’s coast. But little progress has been made on forming a naval mission and allies don’t want to deploy assets until there’s a permanent ceasefire.”
