US President Donald Trump says the US will soon begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz to protect them from Iranian attack, as his administration searches for ways to ease high oil prices fueled by the US-Israeli war on Iran, APA reports.
Asked when the US Navy will start escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump tells reporters, “It will happen soon.”
He is also asked if US and Israeli objectives in the Iran war might be a little different in terms of ending the fighting.
“Well, they might be a little different, I guess, they are a different country than we are,” Trump says.
