BRUSSELS, March 17 (Reuters) - European Union foreign policy chief Kaja ​Kallas said on Tuesday ‌diplomatic ways have to be found in order to ​keep the Strait ​of Hormuz open, as U.S. ⁠President Donald Trump ​calls on allies to send ​warships there to secure transit amid the war in Iran.

“Nobody ​is ready to ​put their people in harm’s way ‌in ⁠the Strait of Hormuz. We have to find diplomatic ways to keep ​this ​open ⁠so that we don’t have a food ​crisis, fertilizers crisis, ​energy ⁠crisis as well,” Kallas said in an interview ⁠with ​Reuters.
