Australia’s Transport Minister Catherine King made the comment in an interview with ABC Radio after Trump called for help to keep the waterway open.
“We’ve been very clear about what our contribution is in relation to our requests, and so far that is to the UAE, obviously providing aircraft to assist with defence, particularly given the number of Australians that are in that area in particular,” King was quoted as saying.
“But we won’t be sending a ship to the Strait of Hormuz. We know how incredibly important that is. That’s not something that we’ve been asked or we’re contributing.”
