Trump says deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come as early as WednesdayCAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come as early as Wednesday, as Iran and Oman inched toward an agreement on the critical waterway that could ease pressure on the global economy and potentially help bring an end to the war. Trump says a deal to reopen the strait is closeThe U.S. president was asked by reporters traveling with him in California about a report on the Axios news site that an announcement on the Strait of Hormuz could be made on Wednesday. The U.S. and Iran reached a deal to open the strait in June, only for attacks to resume. The officials, who were briefed on the negotiations, portrayed the potential deal as a temporary solution to the U.S.-Iranian dispute over vessels’ transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Attacks on shipping continueEven as hopes increased that a deal on the Strait of Hormuz could be imminent, attacks on shipping in the region continued.
