President Donald Trump revealed on Sunday night that he has talked to “about seven” countries regarding the Strait of Hormuz, as he looks to form a coalition to reopen and defend the key waterway from Iranian attacks.

“I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their own territory,” he told reporters on Air Force One. “It’s the place from which they get their energy. And they should come, and they should help us protect it.”
