President Donald Trump is seeking help from other nations to protect the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway is very important for ships carrying goods around the world.
The United States wants countries to work together to make sure ships can pass safely. This is happening during ongoing fighting involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
This fighting has made the region and the economy unstable. The Strait of Hormuz is a key location for oil and other trade.
No firm agreements for this joint effort have been announced yet. The US is continuing its diplomatic efforts to gain support.
The situation in the region remains tense. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage where many important shipments pass.
