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.

Quoted spans: Trump said declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory is a "great idea"; "pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States" (portion of the longer Friday rally quote); "bomb the s*** out of" and "gets in the way" (his threat regarding Oman - quoted fragments).

Context: "Iran said it had reached an agreement with Oman, but the specific details have yet to be finalized."
