Investing.com – U.S. President Donald Trump called on countries to assist in restoring shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, revealing that some nations have indicated they will send aid, while others have been less enthusiastic.

Trump spoke before a luncheon at the Kennedy Center, stating that the U.S. has destroyed 30 mine-laying ships in this strategic waterway. He added that it is currently unclear whether any mines have been deployed in the strait.

Trump encouraged other countries to join the effort, saying many have told him they are coming to provide assistance. He pointed out that while some countries are eager to help, others are not.

The president said he expects minimal firefights during this operation, noting that Iran has little remaining influence. He emphasized that countries should be willing to help the U.S. in this effort.

When asked which countries are providing aid, Trump said he was unsure if those countries wanted him to disclose their involvement.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route, with a significant portion of the world’s oil supplies passing through it.
