3:33Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be open by Friday when a peace deal with Iran is to be signed, but it's not clear how that will happen. Becca Wasser, defense lead for Bloomberg Economics, says the waterway may not be open as Trump envisions. There are still unanswered questions about what exactly a reopening of the strait will look like, whether it will be safe to cross after months of false starts, and if the waterway will be restored as a toll-free zone. She reports on "Balance of Power."
