Trump refers to Strait of Hormuz as 'Strait of Trump'
Misstatement on Strait of Hormuz
US President Donald Trump recently made a viral remark where he referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the 'Strait of Trump'. The President quickly corrected himself, saying 'Excuse me for this. I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake.' He made the comment while discussing negotiations with Iran, noting that Iran had sent eight ships of oil, then added two more, totaling ten.
Emphasizing Negotiations with Iran
President Trump asserted that Iran was negotiating and had to 'open it up', referring to the Strait. He linked the increase in oil shipments to Iran's negotiation efforts and their admission of a previous misstatement. Trump anticipated that 'fake news' would report his slip as accidental, but he stated that there are 'no accidents' with him, or 'not too many'.
