'Coalition of the unwilling': Allies refuse to clean up Trump's Strait of Hormuz mess

President Trump has asked U.S. allies to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz as an energy crisis develops, but the allies declined to participate. After their refusal, Trump responded by threatening NATO, escalating tensions within the alliance. The request comes amid heightened concerns over energy security in the region, a critical waterway through which a significant portion of global oil shipments pass. The allies' resistance to Trump's request reflects broader reluctance to commit military resources to the administration's regional priorities. Separately, Belgium's prime minister suggested normalizing relations with Russia during the EU's energy crisis, drawing criticism from Belgian press and highlighting divisions among European nations over how to address energy needs.
