Trump said all European allies offered to help with demining but may not necessarily rely on them.

Gold Finance reports that on June 17th, U.S. President Trump claimed that European allies have pledged to assist the United States in clearing the Strait of Hormuz to ensure safe and smooth navigation; however, he did not specify which countries made this aid commitment. When asked which countries offered assistance in removing Iranian mines from the waterway, Trump responded, “All countries. Those with such equipment have indeed offered assistance, but every ally has promised to participate.” He added that after reaching an agreement with Iran, the U.S. does not necessarily have to rely on Europe to successfully reopen the strait, but if these countries can provide mine-sweeping ships for the operation, that would be “a good thing.” Trump has consistently viewed the rapid resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as one of the main benefits of the agreement reached with Iran; however, ensuring the safety of the strait to the extent that oil tankers can return to pre-war levels of transit may still take some time.
