President Trump is now openly considering whether the United States should withdraw from NATO after most of its allies declined to send forces to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The move has exposed deep divisions within the alliance.
According to Reuters, Trump had called on NATO nations to help police the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which about 20% of the world’s oil is transported. Iran, responding to ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks that began in late February, effectively closed the channel for tankers using drones, missiles, and mines.
