Trump Calls on China, Japan, France, UK, and S. Korea to Send Warships to Secure Strait of Hormuz

President Trump said on Saturday that he hopes countries including China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain will send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as the U.S. pushes to break Iran’s blockade of the key oil route.

Trump also warned that, in the meantime, the United States will be bombing the shoreline significantly and said the strait will soon be “open, safe and free.”
