US President Donald Trump answered reporters' questions on the agenda at the White House. Claiming that Iran is a 'collapsed country,' Trump said, "Still, that doesn't mean we won't put them in their place. We'll see what happens."
"STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS IN EXTREMELY GOOD CONDITION"
Stating that approximately 30 tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily with the help of the US Navy, Trump said, "The Strait of Hormuz is in extremely good condition. An average of 30 ships pass through at night. A lot of oil is coming through. That's why you see oil prices haven't risen as expected. The US did a 'very good' job first in Venezuela, then in Iran. Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon. If Iran had a nuclear weapon, there would be no country called Israel right now."
