President Donald Trump has made another lighthearted comment about the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway currently under a U.S. naval blockade. In a video, he quipped that the only name you can't call it is the 'Trump Strait', adding that people don't like that idea. He affirmed that it can be called the 'Strait of Hormuz'. The remarks come amid ongoing high tensions with Iran over the blockade and related negotiations.
