Trump rejects Iran proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Original: # Trump rejects # Iran proposal to reopen the # StraitOfHormuz Trump spoke to reporters Saturday outside the White House
President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume talks on Tehran's nuclear program. Speaking to reporters Saturday outside the White House before leaving for a football game, Trump dismissed the proposal, under which Iran said it would reopen the strait and return to negotiations within seven days if the US lifted its naval blockade. The exchange keeps tensions high over the crucial oil shipping route.
Why now: US-Iran tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint, are escalating with the rejected offer.
