President Donald Trump made a lighthearted comment about the strategic Strait of Hormuz, joking that it could be called either the Strait of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait. He quipped that the only name not acceptable would be the 'Trump Strait,' adding that 'they don't like that idea.' The remark comes amid ongoing U.S. military operations and a naval blockade in the region targeting Iran. Trump has frequently commented on the strategic waterway as tensions with Iran continue.
