President Donald Trump has stated that the United States could open the Strait of Hormuz and "make a fortune" with a little more time. This follows his previous call for other countries to handle the trade route themselves. This comes after Trump suggested that other countries should "build up some delayed courage" and "take" the waterway themselves after the U.S. failed to secure international support. This announcement comes amid increasing pressure within the US to end the Iran war.
