'Pretty Soon I'll Be Declaring The Hormuz Strait A Territory Of The United States': Donald Trump
During a speech at the Nassau County Police Academy, former President Donald Trump stated that Iran is being "very badly defeated" and that "pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States." He also claimed that his administration had previously brought down gasoline prices to under $2 a gallon and that the current higher prices were due to efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Trump's remarks indicate a potential shift in US foreign policy regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil supply. The statements also link domestic energy prices to geopolitical actions, potentially influencing voter perceptions.
