U.S. President Donald Trump warned that NATO could face a "very bad" future if allies do not assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route disrupted amid the US-Iran conflict. He urged European countries and China, which heavily depend on Gulf oil, to contribute military support, including minesweepers and warships. Trump indicated his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping might be delayed pending Beijing's response. Some NATO members have been cautious or declined involvement, while Iran maintains the strait remains open for certain vessels.
