President Donald Trump is urging other nations to join efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway is a critical path for oil shipments and international commerce.
The call for support comes as a conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran enters its seventeenth day. This situation has increased instability in the region and affected global markets.
Securing the Strait is seen as essential to prevent further disruption to the supply of goods worldwide.
Details on specific commitments from other countries are not yet public.
