Washington. This Monday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his discontent with the limited response from certain allies to his request for support to secure the Strait of Hormuz, affected by the conflict in Iran. «Some are motivated, others are not, and there are nations we have assisted for years. We have safeguarded those countries from external threats, and their response is not strong,» he commented to the media at the White House. The president mentioned that there are American troops in those nations, although he did not specify which ones: «When we ask them: ‘Do you have mine sweepers?’, their response is: ‘We prefer not to get involved, sir,'» he said. The president stated that some have committed to cooperate in reopening the strategic passage, but he did not reveal their identities, as they might not want to be targeted for attacks.
Trump criticises the lack of ‘enthusiasm’ from some allies to unlock the Strait of Hormuz.
