[Trump Says Possible Strike on Iran, Reiterates U.S. Interest Rates Are Too High] BlockBeats News, September 1 — On Monday local time, U.S. President Trump stated during an interview at the White House: 'Last night, many ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, with an average of 30 ships passing through each night. A large amount of oil flows out through the Strait of Hormuz.' When discussing how future developments might unfold, Trump said: 'It’s possible we will strike Iran. Let’s wait and see what happens next. I think even the Iranians themselves don’t know who their leader is. No one knows who Iran’s leader is. Iran is a failed country.' Trump also addressed the issue of interest rates: 'Currently, interest rates are too high. I have great respect for Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh. He will do what he needs to do.' (Jin10)
