Trump Scolds Allies for Refusing to Help Secure the Strait of Hormuz
Trump reproche à certains pays de ne "pas vouloir s'impliquer" dans la défense du détroit d'Ormuz
Summary
Speaking from the White House, Donald Trump publicly criticized several countries for refusing to contribute to the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Targeting France and the United Kingdom in particular, he argued that the US has been protecting these nations for forty years and that asking them to help with something "very minor" is not unreasonable. The remarks signal growing American frustration with allied burden-sharing on Middle East maritime security.
