"Numerous countries have told me they're on their way. Some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren't. When subsequently asked which countries had pledged to join, Trump responded I'd rather not say yet, adding that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be making an official announcement."
"In his appeal over the weekend, Trump identified China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom as countries that should join the coalition. He later on called on all the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait, specifically saying the members of the NATO alliance should join."
"To date, no country has confirmed its involvement. In contrast, several countries have already doused the prospect, with Australia, Japan, Poland and Sweden and Spain saying they had no intentions of sending military ships. On Monday, several more European leaders joined the chorus, with German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius saying there would be no military participation."
President Trump announced he has received commitments from numerous countries to join an international naval coalition aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Israel conflict with Iran. Despite claiming enthusiastic responses, Trump declined to identify which countries pledged support, stating Secretary of State Marco Rubio would make an official announcement. Trump initially called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom to participate, later expanding the appeal to all NATO members and oil-dependent nations. However, no country has publicly confirmed involvement. Several nations including Australia, Japan, Poland, Sweden, and Spain explicitly rejected participation. Germany declined military involvement but offered diplomatic support. The UK and South Korea indicated they were reviewing the proposal.
