US President Trump said that the US may take over the Strait of Hormuz and should receive compensation for maintaining the safety of this important international waterway. In a telephone interview on the same day, Trump said that the US will “guard” the Strait of Hormuz and “probably operate it.” He said that the United States will be the “guardian” of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said that the reason the US should get compensation is because the US “puts its own personnel at risk.” Furthermore, Trump said that due to Iran's failure to implement the agreement previously reached between the two sides, the US will continue to carry out attacks on Iran, and “every time Iran launches a drone, the US will respond strongly.”
