US EditionCNN’s Kasie Hunt Mocks Trump Over His Bizarre Press Briefing
President Trump made conflicting statements on needing international help to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid rising energy prices, with allies declining to send naval support.
- On Monday, Kasie Hunt, CNN host, opened The Arena with a montage of Trump contradicting himself, struggling to keep up, she said 'We had a hard time following that'.

- The Strait of Hormuz handles about a fifth of the world's oil, and Hunt said Trump was 'waffling sometimes by the minute' as Iran shut it off to U.S. and Israeli vessels.
