President Trump reportedly showed hesitation regarding a European proposal aimed at demining the Strait of Hormuz to facilitate commercial traffic.

However, Trump indicated an openness to a limited naval presence to ensure commercial passage safety.
President Trump reportedly expressed reservations concerning a European proposal to demine the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. The proposal sought to enhance safety and access in the critical waterway.
Trump asserted that the Strait of Hormuz would become open and secure as a result of a preliminary agreement he pursued to conclude the war with Iran. He emphasized that this deal would be the primary factor in ensuring the waterway's safety and accessibility.
Despite his initial hesitancy, the President indicated he remained receptive to the concept of establishing some form of naval presence. This naval deployment would aim to guarantee the safety of commercial passage through the Strait.
