WASHINGTON (Lord Media): President Donald Trump announced that the United States plans to take control of the Strait of Hormuz and expects compensation for managing the strategic waterway. Speaking on Fox News’ ‘Fox & Friends’, Trump stated, “We’re going to keep the strait, and we’ll probably run it. We’ll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we’ll call it the guardian angel of the strait. And we should be reimbursed for that.”
Trump emphasized the financial aspect, saying, “We’re going to guard it. We’re going to get paid for guarding it — a lot of money.” He further noted that the U.S. should be reimbursed because the other nations benefiting from the strait are wealthy allies.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial passage for global oil shipments, and Trump’s comments highlight a potential shift in U.S. policy regarding its international role and financial expectations.
