WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

Western Atlantic bloc

These countries follow military developments based on American and official sources and generally accept the defensive framework provided by Washington, while insisting on the necessity of a negotiated agreement. France and Germany qualify American responsibility in the escalation, but none contests the principle legitimacy of American military presence in the Gulf.
