10. Trump: Nato allies have days to send warships to reopen Hormuz
Thu Apr 9, 2026, 09:06 PM
Thursday

Donald Trump demanded that Nato allies send warships to the Strait of Hormuz in a matter of days as he criticised the alliance for its inaction on Iran.

The fragile ceasefire between the US and the Islamic Republic appeared to hold on Thursday, while Israel said it would hold peace negotiations with Lebanon after waves of air strikes killed hundreds of people.

After a meeting with Mark Rutte, the Nato secretary-general, Mr Trump issued a deadline for European capitals to pledge military support for reopening the key trade route within days.

The US president said Nato had been “very disappointing”, and only acted when pressure was applied.

Not your personal army Donny. Why don't you take your chickenhawk ass down there and reopen them?
