US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz is open to commercial traffic, though the United States and Iran continue to trade attacks that have raised concerns over safety on one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.
Trump's comments were made during an interview on NBC's Meet the Press.
"It's open," said Trump when asked about the situation in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
"We bombed the hell out of them last night," Trump said. "They are very evil and sick people. We had a meeting with them, where they agreed to a deal that was perfect for us, with no nuclear, no this, no that, no nothing. They gave up everything. And then, after that, they left the room and within an hour they launched a drone at a ship."
This is a developing story.
