YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Trump said that a U.S. naval blockade of Iran’s ports took effect, arguing the world “can’t let a country blackmail or extort” others. Speaking at the White House, he also said protecting the key shipping strait is a bigger concern for other regions than for the United States, which he noted has ample domestic oil and gas.
