Trump claims Strait of Hormuz is ‘American Territory’

US President Donald Trump says he views the Strait of Hormuz as an American territory.

Speaking at a rally in South Carolina, Trump made the comments to the crowd while he was campaigning for political novice Darline Graham in the race for her late brother Lindsey’s Senate seat.

Trump earlier said Tehran was not ready to make the right deal and that Washington was observing what happens in the Iran war.

“So we went down and we stopped them. They’ll never have a nuclear weapon. They want to make a deal so badly we don’t even know if we’ve won because I view the Strait of Hormuz as an American territory right now. It’s an American territory.”
