Trump warns NATO and pressures China over Strait of Hormuz closure

President Donald Trump has issued warnings to NATO and is putting pressure on China regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He threatened a 'very bad' future for NATO if it does not help address the situation and has reportedly floated delaying a trip to China as part of the pressure campaign.

According to reports, Trump is demanding that both NATO and China help police or reopen the vital waterway, which Iran has closed. So far, neither NATO nor China have agreed to join such an effort, and key U.S. allies Japan and Australia have also reportedly rejected sending warships.
