Trump Calls for Global Naval Force in Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has called on the United Kingdom and other nations to send their naval ships to the Strait of Hormuz in an effort to defend the key oil shipping route from potential threats. In a statement to reporters, Trump said he hopes China, France, Japan, and South Korea will also contribute vessels to the international effort.

The move comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to escalate in the region. The U.S. has already bolstered its military presence in the Persian Gulf, deploying additional troops, warships, and aircraft to the area. Trump's call for a global naval coalition is seen as an attempt to garner more international support and cooperation in securing the strategic waterway.
