U.S. Reduces NATO Support for Hormuz

Trump said U.S. no longer needs NATO help for Hormuz Strait on March 17, 2026.
France and Britain declined to send ships to secure Hormuz, with no country offering assistance.
Closure of Hormuz Strait affects 20% of global oil supply, raising prices to $100/barrel.
Trump criticized Japan, Australia, and South Korea for not sending minesweepers.
U.S. gas prices rose to $3.79 due to oil price increases.
