Trump posts map showing Strait of Hormuz as US territory

Washington Examiner · back to the audit
President Donald Trump posted a map on social media that showed the Strait of Hormuz as a "new U.S. territory" on Tuesday. The president's Truth Social post came days after he floated the idea of declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory as the war with Iran persists with no resolution. The key waterway remains closed to commercial traffic due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. Negotiations have not resulted in a permanent reopening of the strait so far.
