U.S. President Donald Trump pledges to help guide stranded tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, using as many as 15,000 troops and 100 aircraft. The European Commission is mulling a response after President Trump threatened to hike tariffs on European cars to 25 per cent after accusing the bloc of non-compliance with the trade deal struck last July. European leaders arrive in Yerevan, Armenia for the latest European Political Community summit. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to discuss plans for the country to join the EU’s $90bn loan scheme to Ukraine.
