US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Japan, Australia and India are expected to discuss commercial shipping security and energy supplies at a meeting in Manila on Tuesday, issues central to the confrontation with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.
Attacks on commercial vessels are very likely to be discussed, a source familiar with the planning told Reuters. The report did not specify whether Iran or Hormuz would be raised directly.
“The leaders are likely to take up the issue of free and unimpeded commercial shipping lanes in order to secure energy supplies from across the world,” the source said.
The planned talks on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit would be the first meeting of the four countries’ leaders, known collectively as the Quad, in two years. Critical mineral supplies are also expected to feature on the agenda.
