Bryan Clark appears on CNA News to discuss President Donald Trump efforts to pressure NATO allies, as well as China, Japan, and South Korea, to deploy warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. So far, however there have been no public commitments to a naval deployment. Iran has stated that the waterway remains open to all except its enemies and their allies. Clark notes that some allies might step up given their dependency on oil and gas from the Arabian Gulf.
