On this week\u2019s broadcast of Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cSunday Morning Futures,\u201d President Donald Trump said the U.S. Navy would \u201cclean out\u201d the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
Host Maria Bartiromo said, \u201cMr. President, can you explain to us what is going on right now with the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump said, \u201cWell, we\u2019re going to be blockading. It\u2019ll take a little while, but it\u2019ll be effective pretty soon. And we had meetings yesterday, as you said, lasted 21 hours. That was a long meeting with some very good representatives as you know JD and Steve and Jared. So we were well represented, but we didn\u2019t get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons, they\u2019re not going to have nuclear weapons. I\u2019ve been saying that for 30 years. I would never allow that to happen before I was in politics, and that country will not have nuclear weapons. Most countries shouldn\u2019t be allowed to have, but that country will not have nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIt won\u2019t take long to clean it out. So we\u2019re going to clean out the strait, and they\u2019ll be able to use the strait and not too long a distance. But we had a very intensive negotiation, and toward the end, it got very friendly, and we got just about every point we needed, except for the fact that they refused to give up their nuclear ambition. And that\u2019s the only point. Frankly, to me, that was the most important point by far.\u201d<\/p>\n
