President Donald Trump is claiming a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is imminent and could come Wednesday or Thursday.
Trump was asked about the timing of an announcement coming as early as Wednesday.
“It could happen. Tomorrow or the next day,” the president said as he boarded Air Force One in Los Angeles. “A lot of progress has been made.”
“They (Iran) called me, and they said, ‘Please let’s talk.’ They want to talk. The funny thing is they never mentioned that. They always say we’re not talking, but they called. They want to talk. We’ve been talking,” Trump continued.
“They want to make a deal. They do not want to be hit. The biggest hit since World War II, as I said. And they saw it happening. They saw all the good things being loaded,” Trump said. “They knew exactly what was happening. And I think it would be very smart t0 make a deal. We’ll see what happens.”
