US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States will likely control the Strait of Hormuz, and that it should be compensated for managing this important waterway.
He added, in a telephone interview with the “Fox and Friends” program on Fox News Channel, “We will control the strait, and perhaps we will manage it. We will become the protector of the strait. Perhaps we will be called the guardian angel of the strait. We must be compensated for that.”
Trump touched on the memorandum of understanding with Iran, saying: “We had an agreement and they broke it.”
