Trump says US will have Strait of Hormuz 'open fairly soon'

11-04-2026 11:08 AM


Ammon News - President Donald Trump told reporters ​on Friday that the U.S. will have the Strait of Hormuz "open ‌fairly soon" but did not elaborate and acknowledged that it will not be an easy step.

Trump also suggested that other countries were offering help ​but did not identify any nation.

"Other countries use the ​strait. So we do have other countries coming up, ⁠and they'll help out," Trump said.
"It won't be easy ... I ​would say this - we will have that open fairly soon," Trump ​added.

The blockade of the strait by Tehran since the start of the Iran war has caused the worst disruption to global energy supplies in history. The strait ​is a chokepoint for about 20% of global oil and ​liquefied natural gas shipments.
