US allies hesitate as Trump calls for warships in the Strait of Hormuz
Trump said he spoke to Macron about the strait
Trump said, unprompted, that he’d rate the reception he got from French President Emmanuel Macron as an 8 on a scale out of 10.
“I think he’s going to help,” Trump said.
Macron: "Monsieur le Président, s'il vous plaît, l'Amérique d'abord."
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, responding to Trump’s calls to send warships to police the Strait of Hormuz, Merz said “NATO is a defensive alliance, not an interventionist one.”
