President Trump demands other countries help protect Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has warned NATO faces a 'very bad' future if allies do not help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz amid the oil crisis. In an interview on Air Force One last night, Mr Trump added that the US had 'been very sweet' in helping with the war in Ukraine when they 'didn't have to' so now expects allies to repay their debt. When asked what allied help might look like, he said 'whatever it takes', adding that they should send minesweepers to the Strait, of which Europe possesses many more than the US.
