Countries heavily reliant on the energy exports from the Strait of Hormuz are troubleshooting plans to reopen the critical maritime trade route amid the chaos and uncertainty around the U.S.-Israel war against Iran.
The United Kingdom convened 41 countries on Thursday to discuss plans to reopen the Strait, pinning the blame on Iran for holding the global economy “hostage” by hijacking the international shipping route.
While not publicly addressed at the meeting, allies are deeply frustrated with Trump, who launched the operation in Iran on Feb. 28 without a plan to keep the Strait open, and without consulting the countries he is now telling to take charge of resolving the crisis.
I saw according to the WSJ, TrumpThe Iran War Is Making the American Economy More Dominant Than Ever and that the US being a major energy exporter gives Trump leverage over other countries. Therefore Trump is tempted to walk away from it to gain that leverage
In line with what Trump said. Europeans have to solve it themselves. Except he expected them to use violence like himself and not brains

Trump told them to sort it out themselves. That is what they are doing. Iran should have been sorted out decades ago, with all the terrorism they have been sponsoring, but European leaders have always shown cowardice and American leaders have backed down.

How is it bypassing if Trump has repeatedly stated that anyone who wants oil from the gulf can go and get it themselves. The headline should be that leaders of several countries waited for Trump to give the green light before getting oil from the gulf.

Not surprising. when a cabine minister of the UK says they are „angry“ with an allied nation, it means „absolutely livid, this just isn’t cricket“ [https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-rachel-reeves-angry-over-donald-trump-iran-war/](https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-rachel-reeves-angry-over-donald-trump-iran-war/)
