YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China will be “very happy” the US is reopening the Strait of Hormuz for its vessels, Donald Trump has said - adding President Xi Jinping will give him a “big, fat, hug” for lifting the blockade.

The US President took to social media to announce he's "permanently opening” the trade route just hours after the US military announced its blockade had been “fully implemented”.

He wrote: “China is very happy I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz.

"I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.

"President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks."

It comes ahead of Trump’s state visit to China next month.

International affairs expert Victor Gao joins Andrew Marr to react to the failure of the President's blockade.
