Starmer, Trump discuss plan to restore shipping through Strait of Hormuz

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke with US President Donald Trump on Thursday about the need for a plan to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz “as quickly as possible” following a US ceasefire with Iran, Downing Street said.

According to a statement, Starmer discussed UK efforts to convene partners to agree on a “viable plan” to restore freedom of navigation in the waterway.

The statement said the two leaders agreed that, with a ceasefire in place and agreement to reopen the strait, efforts should now focus on a practical plan to resume shipping.
