Trump asks 'about 7' countries to join coalition to police Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has "demanded" that about seven countries heavily reliant on Middle East oil join a coalition to police the Strait of Hormuz. About one-fifth the world's traded oil flows through the waterway. Trump spoke while answering reporters' questions as he flew back to Washington from Florida aboard Air Force One. The president declined to name the countries he the administration is negotiating with for protection for the strait. "I'm demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their own territory," Trump said about the strait, claiming the vital shipping channel is not something the United States needs because of its own access to oil. U.S. President Donald Trump's appeal to China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others to send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz "open and safe" brought no commitments on Sunday as oil prices soar during the Iran war. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told
