Keir Starmer And Emmanuel Macron Join Hands To Strategically Defend The Strait Of Hormuz | UK-France
Washington is not involved in the talks that France and the UK are holding with dozens of nations to further preparations for a multinational marine force to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz.
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will serve as the meeting's chairs on Friday at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris. Approximately 30 to 40 nations will participate in person or by video conference. The Strait of Hormuz Maritime Freedom of Navigation Initiative, a defensive mission to restore free passage across the canal once a long-term truce in the US-Israel war on Iran is in place, will be the main topic of discussion.
