US President 'strongly encourages' nations depending on Strait of Hormuz to help

Donald Trump says "numerous countries" are on their way after he called for other nations to help secure the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian attacks.

He said: "We strongly encourage other nations whose economies depend on the Strait far more than ours – we get less than 1% of our oil from the Strait and some countries get much more."

"Japan gets 95%, China gets 90%, many of the Europeans get quite a bit, South Korea gets 35% – so we want them to come and help us with the Strait."
