Trump Calls for Global Naval Coalition to Secure Strait of Hormuz

Washington, D.C. — Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called on countries around the world to join a proposed multinational naval coalition aimed at keeping the strategic Strait of Hormuz open amid rising geopolitical tensions.

The call, however, has received a mixed response from key international partners.

Countries including Italy, Spain, Japan, Canada, and Australia have reportedly declined to participate in the initiative.

Meanwhile, France is said to be taking a cautious approach, while China has yet to officially respond.

The proposed coalition is intended to safeguard one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, through which a significant portion of global energy supplies passes daily.

The development highlights growing divisions among global powers over how best to address security concerns in the region, as tensions continue to impact international trade and energy markets.
