Rubio and South Korea's Cho Discuss Strait of Hormuz's Role in Global Economy

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun agreed on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for global economic stability and energy security. South Korea is carefully considering U.S. President Donald Trump's request for a naval coalition to ensure safe passage through the strait, which carries significant oil and LNG supplies. South Korea has existing naval deployments in the Middle East but has not received formal requests to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz, with decisions to comply subject to constitutional and legal review.
