Finland’s Stubb Cautions NATO Allies to Heed Trump’s Hormuz Call

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said NATO allies have to take Donald Trump at his word when the US president puts the future of the alliance on the line to safeguard passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump insisted on Sunday that allies in NATO and Asia should help ensure oil and gas shipments move through the key waterway, which has been effectively closed since the US and Israel attacked Iran a just over two weeks ago. NATO faces a “very bad” future if US allies fail to assist it, Trump said.
