Trump, speaking at a White House event on Monday, said he had spoken to Macron, giving him an '8 out of 10' score on his stance towards getting allies to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and suggested Macron would join U.S.-backed efforts.
France will never take part in operations to unblock Hormuz Strait amid hostilities, says Emmanuel Macron
Emmanuel Macron stated France will not participate in U.S.-backed military operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz amid rising hostilities. This diplomatic stance risks undermining regional security cooperation and exposes allied nations to potential retaliatory cyber or physical threats. The geopolitical tension increases the risk of attacks on critical maritime infrastructure in the region.
