After Trump called on some countries to send fleets to help open the Strait of Hormuz, some of America's allied countries openly refused to cooperate. French President Macron stated that, in the current context, France "will not participate in any action aimed at opening or liberating the Strait of Hormuz." Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said that the country "was not consulted before the offensive action began," and now "has no intention of participating in it." UK Prime Minister Starmer also stated that the UK would not be "drawn into a broader war." After being rebuffed, Trump publicly stated: "We no longer 'need' - nor do we desire - the assistance of NATO countries; in fact, we never did!" He also added: "This is also the case for Japan, Australia, and South Korea. In fact, as the President of the United States of America, the world's undisputed most powerful nation, we don't need help from anyone at all!"
