Britain to Host Summit on Managing the Strait of Hormuz
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will lead talks as 35 nations back efforts to restore maritime security along the key oil route.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the United Kingdom will host a global summit of 35 nations to explore ways to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route currently blocked by Tehran.
- President Donald Trump told the United Kingdom on Tuesday that the US "won't be there to help you anymore" and urged it to "go get your own oil" from the strait, where 20 percent of global oil and gas supplies pass.
- Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will chair the meeting later this week, gathering representatives from the Group of Seven, Europe and the Gulf, following Starmer's discussions with business leaders from shipping, finance, insurance and energy sectors at Downing Street.
- Reaffirming NATO commitment, Starmer stressed the UK remains "fully committed to NATO" and would act in the British national interest despite pressure, while Britain does not wish to be "dragged" into the military conflict.
- Beyond the diplomatic initiative, military planners are simultaneously assessing post-conflict security steps for the strait, while Starmer plans another summit with European Union counterparts in the coming weeks to repair Brexit damage.
