Trump claims US has ‘total control’ of Strait of Hormuz, says he does not trust Iran

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he does not trust Iran and claimed that the US currently has “total control” over the Strait of Hormuz.

“I don't trust Iran. Why — are you saying I trust Iran!? I'm the last person to trust Iran,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland following his trip to Ohio.

“They've lied to me constantly,” he added.

“We have total control over the Hormuz Strait right now. They don't have control. We have total control. We own it,” he said.
