Germany rejected a U.S. demand for military support to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after President Trump warned that it would be [bad for NATO](https://www.ft.com/content/1ca6d121-760b-4ec5-b6ad-514fdaa94873) if American allies did not do more to help.“This is not our war; we did not start it,” Boris Pistorius, the German defense minister, said at a news conference in Berlin on Monday. “We want diplomatic solutions and a swift end to the conflict, but sending more warships to the region will likely not help achieve that,” he said.
“What does Donald Trump expect from, say, a handful or two of European frigates in the Strait of Hormuz?” he added. “He needs them to achieve what the mighty US Navy cannot manage on its own there, is that it? That’s the question I’m asking myself.”
And they didn’t ask politely….
The Americans and the Israelis cooked the stew. Now they have to eat it
Good.
Wait until the Israeli lobby finds out
Well yes, its not our war. Keeping the strait open is still a very imporant interest of Europe. Its not as easy as saying “we dont care”. The economic consequences will hit us either way
You do not have the cards, mr. President!
Trump hasn’t even said thank you yet!
Should’ve said thank you and worn a suit if he wanted help
He said it to be sure that no one blames them.
It’s like that meme from Simpsons with “sorry, force of habit”
Many balk at being pushed to fight America’s wars. But Israel’s?! Dream on
The orange fascists monkey in the white house started it. He should finish it now and then finish himself.
Germany and eu finally found lost spine and not going to war that USA started. PM of Spain and now Germany. I’m now a little more proud of independent baby steps of EU 🇪🇺
👍🏻
🇭🇷
Upset Trump moves all US bases in Europe to Israel. Oh no! Anyway…
Trump just needs our help to minimise the number of US casualties… by having our soldiers dying instead.
Won’t anyone think of the midterms?/s
the EU should not be involved in any war! we suffered enough during the world wars, thanks
I don’t get how Trump can first basically demolish the trust in Nato then demand Nato help after he starts a war.
Took longer than most thought, but Trump is finally being punished for his hubris. Turns out your allies will remember when you apply economical sanctions and restrict military aid. They will repay you in kind.
Good. Same take as rest of the world has regarding other wars.
The US is actively trying to break the EU up
Germany, UK, Italy, France and Spain all confirmed as a no to Trump’s request, any other country with spare capabilities ?
I guess the Netherlands will also confirm a no before or after the bilateral with Germany
He’ll accept when Israel ask.
For once a world war not started by Germany.
