WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Trump dubbed the project “Project Freedom.”
On Sunday, Trump wrote, “Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute,” have caused the US to free up ships “locked up” in the key strait.
Trump said that the ships are from areas that are “not in any way involved” in the Middle East conflict.
“This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran,” he added. He continued that if the process is interfered with, that interference will “have to be dealt with forcefully.”
