Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong, and most people seem to be very happy,” he added.
“The Strait [of Hormuz] is going to be opening. It’s already partially opened. It’s going to be opening up soon in full over the next day or two,” Trump said.
Despite Washington’s blockade of Iranian ports and earlier threats to use force to reopen the vital shipping lane, Trump suggested a negotiated arrangement on Hormuz was unavoidable: “The alternative would be a worldwide depression.”
“You know, the stupid people want to have a worldwide depression, and they’re stupid people. So you can only go so far,” he said. “You drive somebody into the ground, and a lot of bad things happen… the Strait would never open, because they don’t like floating billion-dollar ships up and down a strait when there are rockets flying over them and mines all over the place… It wouldn’t be open for a long time.” |
