Trump: Hormuz Strait Will 'Soon Resume Passage'

BlockBeats News, April 11, U.S. President Trump stated that the United States will 'soon' resume passage through the Hormuz Strait, while acknowledging that the related actions 'will not be easy.' He did not disclose specific implementation plans. Trump mentioned that other countries have expressed willingness to assist in ensuring the safety of shipping through the strait, but did not specify the participants. Previous reports indicated that NATO has already discussed assisting in maintaining the security of this critical waterway. As one of the world's most important energy transportation routes, the Hormuz Strait accounts for approximately 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Since Iran's blockade of the strait, global energy supplies have been severely disrupted, oil prices have fluctuated significantly, and market uncertainty has continued to rise. Although the U.S. and Iran have announced a temporary ceasefire, shipping through the strait remains largely stagnant. Progress in resuming operations will depend on subsequent security arrangements and the evolution of geopolitical dynamics.
