They could be playing good cop (E3) bad cop (US) here. France, UK, and Germany are allowing US military use their territory to attack Iran. They are also fuelling Israeli war planes as well. So when they say they aren't participating, they only mean they aren't dropping the bombs. But they are very much participant.
Trump wants the European military to help escort / save the oil tankers' passage through the Strait of Hormuz and that's very different, dangerous demand than the military basis or intelligence sharing.
Essentially, Trump wants to lessen the American body bags count by bringing in others to contribute to the body bags count. The Strait, as long as it remains closed, is Iran's Economic Nuke, if you saw what Newt Gingrich said a few days ago.
