President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but his appeals have brought no commitments as oil prices soar during the Iran war. Previously, he has appealed to China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain.

China took Iran's deal instead...

Iran just sent a super tanker full of oil to China.

Trump, you just made your Board of Peace. Ask them for help, ask them to uphold world peace and end the war for you. Surely you can solve your own war yourself, big man, seeing as it was you who started it?

Yeah he stopped 8 wars last year, I would've thought the Fifa Peace prize recipient could handle a simple misunderstanding of assassinating Iran's head of state and faith leader, exploding 170 little innocent children, and toppling the world economy

Their response should have been, "what will you give us?" Since everything is transactional with TACO.

Even Bush had the wisdom to build a coalition beforehand.

Has he asked his private peace board yet?

8 said no. That last one was preemptive.

He just begged Russia for oil and fucked over Ukraine's war plans. I've met smarter tennis shoes.

He cherry picked shitheads to take the blame and to share the costs of his unlawful invasion and human rights breaches. Very thoughtful of him.

So he got about seven "NO"s.
