Svmuu News: In response to U.S. President Trump's recent social media post calling for multiple countries to dispatch warships to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, four nations—France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom—have issued responses. According to Al Jazeera, France stated it will not send ships. An account associated with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on social platform X, saying, "No, the French aircraft carrier and its battle group will remain in the Eastern Mediterranean." Japanese officials told local media that Japan would not dispatch ships merely because of Trump's call, adding that "Japan decides its own response, and independent judgment is crucial." The South Korean presidential office stated on the 15th that it would carefully consider Trump's call and maintain "close communication" with the U.S. side. A spokesperson for the UK Ministry of Defence commented on the related call to American media, stating that the UK is "currently discussing a range of options with our allies and partners to ensure the security of shipping in the region." Al Jazeera noted that the above responses indicate that, so far, no country has publicly endorsed Trump's call. (Global Times)
