WANA (Apr 15) – U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will permanently reopen the Strait of Hormuz, signaling an abrupt end to the naval tensions that have gripped global energy markets.

 

In a statement posted to Truth Social, the President claimed the decision followed a breakthrough agreement with Beijing where China reportedly committed to halting all weapon shipments to Iran.

 

The President praised his working relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping, noting that the two nations are working together smartly and stating that he expects a warm welcome during his upcoming visit to China in a few weeks.

 

While the move appears to be a significant de-escalation intended to stabilize global trade, the President concluded his message with a stern warning that the U.S. remains prepared to fight if necessary, asserting that American military capabilities remain far superior to those of any other nation.
