The president Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday to rename the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait" since the United States has taken control of this waterway during the war with Iran and has cleared it of explosive mines.
"Now that we have it under U.S. control, should we change the name of the Strait of Hormuz to TRUMP STRAIT?", the president asked on social media. "Like America itself, it would be 'hotter' than ever! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he added.
When the war began on February 28, the Iranian terrorist regime effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz and began attacking commercial vessels passing through this passage. Nearly 20 million barrels of crude oil and refined products passed through Hormuz, which accounted for about one-fifth of the world's oil consumption.
