European leaders have rejected demands by the United States President, Donald Trump, for help to clear the strait of Hormuz, as foreign ministers from the European Union gathered in Brussels on Monday to discuss skyrocketing oil prices from the US-Israeli war on Iran.
The push back came after Trump called on the UK, China, France, Japan, South Korea and other NATO countries to send ships to secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would be very bad for the future of NATO if allies don’t help secure the strait.
German Foreign Minister,YOHAN VADAFUL (Johann Wadephul) while speaking at that meeting,said that Berlin had no intention of joining military operations during the conflict, saying that NATO needed clarity on when US and Israel considered the military aims of their deployment to have been reached.
Wadephul also says that NATO has not made any decision on assuming responsibilities in the Strait of Hormuz.
