US President Donald Trump said that the United States needs a little more time to be able to open the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
“Just a little more time and we can easily open the Strait of Hormuz, take the oil and make a fortune“, Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.
In a 19-minute address to the nation yesterday from the White House, President Trump defined the opening of the Strait of Hormuz as an issue that concerns other countries, although earlier that day he said on social networks that he would not agree to any ceasefire agreement unless the strait is opened.
Iran cut off supplies to oil via the sea route, which led to a spike in oil and natural gas prices.
