Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States will help ​with the buildup of shipping traffic in the ‌Strait of Hormuz.

Trump on Tuesday agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to ​reopen the strait or face attacks on ​its civilian infrastructure.

Trump said the last-minute deal was ⁠subject to Iran's agreement to pause its blockade of ​oil and gas supplies through the strait, which typically ​handles about one-fifth of global oil shipments.

"We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just 'hangin' around' in order to ​make sure that everything goes well," Trump said.

"There will ​be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran ‌can ⁠start the reconstruction process," he also said.
Trump told Agence France-Presse the United States had won a "total and complete victory" after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire deal with ​Iran.
