President Trump is demanding that about seven other countries help the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed by Iran since the war started.

On his way home from Florida Sunday night, Trump said he’s demanding that the countries send warship and other military support to help escort oil vessels travel through the critical chokepoint.

But officials from the governments of Australia, Germany and Japan say they aren’t sending any ships. Italy’s foreign minister cast doubt on sending ships to the region. Officials with the European Union are meeting today, but it’s not clear any European ships will help safeguard the region, either.
