Trump: 'Iran cannot blackmail US with strait of Hormuz'

Donald Trump has warned Iran not to “blackmail” the US with its flip-flopping on the status of the strait of Hormuz, after Tehran reversed its decision to reopen the waterway to shipping.

 

But the US president again struck a positive tone that a deal with Iran could be possible.

 

“They [Iran] got a little cute, as they have been doing for 47 years,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

 

“We’re talking to them. They wanted to close up the strait again – you know, as they’ve been doing for years – and they can’t blackmail us.”

 

He added: “It’s going actually along very well, and we’ll see, but we’ll have some information by the end of the day.”
