The United States President Donald Trump is expected to discuss a plan to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz during next week’s G7 summit in France, according to a U.S. official. The initiative aims to address heightened tensions in the vital shipping lane. The official indicated that securing international support for the operation will be a key objective of Trump’s discussions with world leaders. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically important waterway, and its blockage would significantly disrupt global oil supplies. The move comes amid escalating maritime security concerns in the Persian Gulf region. It is unclear what specific nations will be asked to contribute to the demining effort, or the scope of the proposed operation. The G7 summit provides a platform for Trump to present the plan and garner backing from allies.
