U.S.
allies in Europe and Asia signal that they too may get involved in the war in Iran after pressure from President Trump.
Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce is here to talk about the latest on the war in Iran.
First, though, we'd like to note that six American service members who were killed in action were returned this week.
Our military leadership honored them at a press conference yesterday.
What did we hear at that event?
Right.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Cain welcomed their caskets back to the States at Dover Air Force Base.
And then they honored them and their memory at a press conference yesterday morning.
Well, our hearts are with those families.
Now, after some initial resistance, it appears there has been some movement among U.S.
allies to get involved in the war in Iran.
What are we seeing?
Yeah, that's right.
Trump has pushed allies in Europe and Asia to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
As you said, that initial resistance seemed to crack a little bit yesterday.
NATO Chief Mark Rutte is one of the most significant voices here, and here he was recognizing the world's interest in securing the Strait.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeuchi met with President Trump at the White House yesterday, and she had a similar message.
Now, of course, words are a long way from action, but it does look like Trump's pressure is having an impact.
And a big reason for that could be that Europe wants to avoid charges of hypocrisy over its request for USAID to Ukraine.
