No other country in the world can make it safe!-----Trump says he may declare Strait of Hormuz a US territory ‘after we finish defeating Iran’

President Donald Trump said Friday that he could soon declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” following the war against Iran.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. controls the strategic waterway and on Friday went further, saying, “Pretty soon, I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.”

• Iran has rejected those claims. Its deputy foreign minister wrote on X that the strait “cannot be seized by tweet, nor by aircraft carrier, nor by issuing an order, nor by an election speech.”
