Countries are not reacting positively to Trump's demand
President Trump on Monday continued to press other countries to join U.S. efforts to secure a critical shipping route off the coast of Iran.Iran's ability to threaten slow-moving oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz has become a headache for the Trump administration as it creates a stranglehold on a passageway through which roughly 20% of the world's oil trade typically passes.On Saturday, President Trump called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and others to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz.In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump warned that "it will be very bad for the future of NATO" if countries fail to police the strait."I'm demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their own territory," Trump said aboard Air Force One on Sunday."Whether we get support or not, I can say this, and I said it to them: We will remember," he said.
