As an Australian, I think our position will be very clear.

Fool us once (Vietnam) and shame on you, try to fool us twice (today) and we politely decline your generous offer.

No country will send escort ships to a mined narrow straight off the coast of Iran to be sitting ducks.
No enthusiasm for a suicide mission, especially after Trump's past badmouthing of some of the countries he is now asking.

Trump's mess, Trump needs to clean it up.
