UK won't commit soldiers to a war without 'legal basis' amid Trump threats

The UK's refusal to commit troops without a legal basis reflects a broader trend among NATO allies to reassess their military engagements in light of international law and strategic clarity. This cautious approach may be seen as a necessary check against impulsive military actions, especially given the unpredictable nature of Trump's foreign policy. However, it also raises questions about the future unity and effectiveness of NATO in responding to threats in volatile regions like the Strait of Hormuz.
