According to the White House chief, Europe and China are heavily dependent on oil from the Persian Gulf, while the US is less exposed to this risk. At the same time, Trump pointed to the need for joint action to protect the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil passes.
If there is no response, or if it is negative, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO
He called on allies to send minesweepers and military teams to eliminate "bad actors" along the Iranian coast who pose a threat with drones and naval mines.
"We are hitting them hard. They have nothing left but to create small problems in the strait, but these people are the beneficiaries, and they should help us control the situation," Trump added.
