Donald Trump has declared that multiple countries, including those from Europe such as Romania ("mai multe tari"), are sending or planning military vessels into international waters near critical chokepoints like the Straits of Ormuz and Malacca in an effort to keep them open against Iranian threats; he explicitly stated on March 14 via social media platforms (including X) that these nations must send their own ships, noting "in one way or another we will leave it [open]" while framing this as a necessary demonstration rather than direct intervention.
