WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday insisted that the blockade gives US control of Strait of Hormuz.
Claiming the US has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said Wednesday: “I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT!”
Trump’s social media post referred to the US blockade of Iran’s ports. A vital route for one-fifth of the world’s traded oil before the war, the strait has been largely closed to other traffic since the start of the war because of Iran’s attacks on shipping.
