The British government announced that Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, during which they emphasized the vital importance of opening the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation.
Both leaders affirmed that resuming shipping traffic through the Strait is essential to ensure the stability of the global energy market, especially in light of escalating tensions in the Middle East.
London underscored that the continued closure or disruption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz would directly impact oil and gas supplies and increase price volatility, thereby threatening the international economy and global supply chains.
This call comes amid growing concerns over the repercussions of military escalation in the region on global trade, particularly as the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most critical maritime corridors for energy transport.
