Trump says Strait of Hormuz can be “easily” reopened “with a little more time”
President Trump said Friday that Iran’s iron grip on the Strait of Hormuz, which has sent oil and gas prices soaring since the U.S. and Israel launched their joint war on Iran 35 days ago, could be released “with a little more time,” enabling the U.S. to “TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE.”
“With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A “GUSHER” FOR THE WORLD???” Mr. Trump said, without explaining what he anticipated changing in the Persian gulf to enable the strait to be easily reopened, or how long he thought it might take.
