UK and Germany Reject NATO Mission to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Détroit d'Ormuz : les navires envoyés seraient dans "un danger immédiat"
Summary
The UK and Germany on Monday rejected the idea of a NATO mission to restore maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing back against a call by Donald Trump who had asked allies and China to help unblock the strategic waterway. The strait, through which a significant share of global oil passes, has been under threat, with ships reportedly in "immediate danger." The divergence highlights growing transatlantic tensions over burden-sharing and the role of NATO in out-of-area operations.
