President Donald Trump said Monday that he and the top leader of Iran could control the Strait of Hormuz if a deal to end the war is reached.
Trump told CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins that the strait could be “jointly controlled” by the United States and Iran. “Maybe me? Maybe me. Me and the ayatollah, whoever the ayatollah is,” he said when asked who specifically would be in control of the body of water in this case.
