イラン油タンカー攻撃、米核施設攻撃、ホルムズ海峡封鎖脅威で激化する米イラン紛争の中、ドナルド・トランプ大統領は日曜日、NATO同盟国がこの重要な海峡の確保に協力しなければNATOの将来が危うくなると警告した。この海峡は世界の石油の20%が通過する。トランプ氏は、イランの封鎖継続の誓いの中で、NATO加盟国や他国に海峡の警備協力を求めていると述べた。
ドナルド・トランプ大統領は日曜日、フィナンシャル・タイムズとのインタビューでこの警告を発し、「海峡の恩恵を受けている人々が、そこに悪いことが起こらないよう支援するのは当然だ」と述べた。彼はさらに、「対応がなければ、または否定的な対応なら、NATOの将来にとって非常に悪いことになる」と付け加えた。トランプ氏はその夕方、ワシントンD.C.に向かうエアフォース・ワン機上でこのメッセージを繰り返し、記者団に「我々は海峡の警備で我々と協力する他の国々と話しており、良い反応を得ていると思う。そうしてくれれば素晴らしいし、そうでなければそれも素晴らしい」と語った。
