Former President Trump has indicated he may cease U.S. military assistance to Ukraine if European nations do not participate in a coalition aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz.

This development could have far-reaching implications for Ukraine's defense capabilities, as well as for the stability of maritime routes critical for global trade.

NATO's leadership has responded by urging member states to consider their roles in both supporting Ukraine and ensuring the security of key waterways.
