Trump: Nations That Rely on Hormuz Must Help Protect It

President Donald Trump said countries that depend on the Strait of Hormuz for energy shipments must play a larger role in protecting the vital shipping route. Trump argued that the United States should not bear the full burden of securing the waterway as tensions rise in the Middle East. Trump urged allied nations and major oil importers to contribute more to safeguarding global energy supply lines. The remarks reflect the administration’s push for greater burden-sharing from international partners as U.S. forces work to keep the strategic corridor open.
