Donald Trump warned NATO that the alliance could face a “very bad” future if member countries do not help secure the Strait of Hormuz. He said protecting the key shipping route should not fall only on the United States. Trump urged NATO allies to take a bigger role in keeping the waterway open. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil routes. Many global energy shipments pass through it each day. Trump said the security of the strait affects global trade and energy supplies. He called on NATO partners to work together to protect the route and prevent further threats to ships moving through the area. (PC: BBC)
