UK, Australia, Japan decline Trump's demand to protect Hormuz
UK, Australia and Japan both said Monday they have no plans to send naval or maritime vessels to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald Trump demanded that a group of about seven countries support the US in protecting the strategic waterway.
"We have not made any decisions whatsoever about dispatching escort ships. We are continuing to examine what Japan can do independently and what can be done within the legal framework," Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament.
