EU unlikely to back Trump in Iran conflict, says Oseni

Arise Television's Morning Show anchor Rufai Oseni stated European Union countries will not support US President Donald Trump in any confrontation with Iran. Oseni argued EU nations like France and Denmark already have agreements allowing their ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, giving them little incentive to support US intervention that could disrupt these arrangements. He noted these countries have successfully navigated the strait through their own deals with Iran, making them unlikely to heed Trump's calls. Oseni also cited strained US-EU relations, referencing Trump's approach to Cuba and Ukraine as evidence of his bullying tactics. He concluded that EU nations are telling Trump the conflict is not a NATO matter, pointing to US failures in Ukraine as undermining its credibility.
