President Donald Trump’s plea for help securing the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Israel war with Iran has met a chill abroad. No nation has formally pledged ships: Japan and France declined, Australia will not take part, China stayed largely silent, and South Korea is still reviewing. Britain is in talks that could include mine-detecting drones. Energy Secretary Chris Wright voiced hope Beijing will help keep the passage open. Trump warned NATO’s future is at stake and said a planned meeting with Xi could slip without progress.
