US Edition'Strait of Trump': US president says Iran must open key waterway
Trump threatens destruction of Iranian energy plants if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, disrupting 20 million barrels of oil daily amid ongoing Iran-US conflict.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the "Strait of Trump" during the Future Investment Initiative Summit in Miami, Florida, insisting Iran must open the vital waterway to facilitate a peace deal.
- The president's announcement a day earlier of a 10-day pause on strikes against Iran's energy plants preceded his remarks, as the strait's blockage prevents the transit of 20 million oil barrels daily, disrupting global energy markets.
- Trump, who previously renamed the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America," dismissed claims his naming quip was a mistake, stating, "There's no accidents with me, not too many." His branding pattern reflects decades as a real estate mogul.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced alarm earlier Friday that Iran might establish a permanent "tolling system" for vessels, while authorities report over 1,900 killed in Iran and at least 13 American troops dead in the conflict.
- While the president claims Iran is "begging" to make a deal, Tehran denies any direct talks are occurring; recent polling shows his approval rating has fallen to 36 percent, marking its lowest point since taking office last year.
