Trump rejects Iran’s Strait of Hormuz deal

US President Donald Trump on Saturday rejected a truce deal proposed by Iran. Tehran said the deal could have reopened the Strait of Hormuz to shipping within a week. The Strait of Hormuz is key to the world’s energy supply. It is now central to the conflict between the US and Iran, which is at a stalemate after nearly seven months. “I reject their proposal,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. “They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they’re losing so badly.”
