The US demands European involvement in securing the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump expecting military commitments and considering troop withdrawal from uncooperative NATO countries. Iran's actions in the strait have led to higher oil prices.

The evaluation of the claims reveals a complex geopolitical situation involving US requests for European military support in the Strait of Hormuz and Trump's expectations from European allies. The US is actively seeking international support to secure the shipping channel, with multiple claims highlighting varying degrees of participation and resistance from European allies. Iran's blockade of the Strait has indeed contributed to increased global oil prices, a widely reported fact. However, the claim about Trump ordering a list of European supporters or opponents and intending to withdraw troops from NATO countries lacks direct evidence and seems speculative within the context provided.
