BERLIN (Reuters) - German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Monday reiterated that Germany would not join a U.S.-led naval mission in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Berlin favoured a European mission but warned it was rather difficult to make progress on that.

"At the moment the Britons would rather join an American mission. We won't do that," Maas told reporters.
