Trump Says Strait Is Open, US Is in Control
President Donald Trump told reporters that the Strait of Hormuz is open and the U.S. is in control of any blockade, noting that oil prices are coming down. He also stated that declaring the Strait a U.S. territory would be a great idea.
The U.S. maintains control over a critical oil chokepoint, impacting global energy markets and U.S. foreign policy towards Iran.
