President Donald Trump on Monday held talks with US’s European, Gulf and Arab allies to discuss re-opening of Strait of Hormuz.
US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “POTUS is speaking with our allies in Europe, and also many of our partners in the Gulf and Arab world to encourage them to step up to do more to open the Strait of Hormuz — and our NATO allies especially need to step up…"
“The United States of America is leading way not just to support and protect our American assets and bases in the Middle East, but also to defend Europe, and the Middle East, and the rest of the world from the rogue Iranian regime obtaining a nuclear bomb," she added.
