White House: Trump joked about Embracing Hormuz
The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump's statements about declaring the Strait of Hormuz as American territory were made in jest, and he did not discuss with his advisors any plan to turn this into an official policy. Trump's remarks, which sparked widespread controversy, involved claims of controlling the maritime passage and going to war with Iran. However, he later clarified them, denying any intention by the US administration to take an official step in that direction. This reflects internal hesitation within the White House and places the statements within the realm of humor rather than official policy.
