President Donald Trump said the United States is discussing cooperation with other countries on “policing” the Strait of Hormuz, speaking aboard Air Force One.
“We are talking to other countries about working with us on the policing of the Strait. And I think we're getting good response,” Trump said.
"About seven," he told reporters, indicating the number of countries with which the United States was discussing the possibility of joining in security in the Strait of Hormuz.
He added that the US Navy and its partners could help keep the waterway open, saying:
“It'd be interesting to see what country wouldn't help us with a very small endeavor, which is just keeping the Strait open.”
The US leader added that it was too early to say which countries will join the security arrangements, as discussions were ongoing.
