**Why the EU Won't Help Trump in a Confrontation with Iran** Rufai Oseni, the anchor of Arise Television's Morning Show, has weighed in on the likelihood of European Union countries supporting US President Donald Trump in a potential conflict with Iran. According to him, several EU nations have already made agreements with Iran that allow their ships to pass through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, making it unlikely they will support US intervention. Speaking on his programme, Oseni pointed out that countries such as France and Denmark have reportedly secured deals with Iran to enable their vessels to navigate the waterway without disruption. This, he argued, means they may see little reason to support US intervention that could potentially disrupt their existing agreements. Oseni also commented on the strained relationship between Trump and European allies, suggesting that the US President's approach to international relations may make it difficult for him to secure their cooperation. "Trump's tactics are more like bullying," he said. "He's not respected by many countries, and they're unlikely to listen to his demands." This development is particularly relevant to Nigerian readers, who are familiar with the complexities of international diplomacy. Just as Nigeria has its own set of relationships with other countries, particularly in the context of the African Union and ECOWAS, EU nations have their own relationships with Iran and other countries in the region. In the context of Africa, Nigeria has navigated its relationships with countries like the UK, France, and the US, often balancing its own interests with international cooperation. Similarly, EU nations are likely to prioritize their own interests and existing agreements with Iran over any pressure from the US. As the situation with Iran continues to unfold, it's clear that international diplomacy is complex and multifaceted. While the US and Iran engage in a war of words, EU nations are likely to take a cautious approach, prioritizing their own interests and existing agreements over any pressure from the US.
