US President Donald Trump has said that the Strait of Hormuz can open with a simple military maneuver.

Trump said this on Friday while responding to questions from reporters at Air Force One.

He said, “It’s a simple military maneuver. It’s relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of: you need ships, you need volume. And, NATO could help us, but they so far haven’t had the courage to do so.”

“And others could help us, but we don’t use it. At a certain point, it will open itself at a certain point, but we’ve defeated the enemy,” Trump said.

DAILY POST had reported that earlier in the day, the President lambasted allies, noting that they do not want to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver.

According to Trump, he does not want a ceasefire with Iran when the US has the upper hand and is obliterating the country.

“We can have a dialogue, but we don’t – I don’t want to do a ceasefire. You don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.

“They don’t have a navy, they don’t have an Air Force, they don’t have any equipment — they don’t have any spotters, they don’t have anti-aircraft, they don’t have radar and their leaders have all been killed at every level,” Trump added.
