Trump floats ‘Trump Strait’ name for Hormuz, then says he wasn’t serious
- US President Trump on Wednesday suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as Trump Strait in a Truth Social post.
- Asked later if he was serious, he said no, it was just thrown out there, showing he had no firm plan.
- It follows his orders renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America and the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
- Traffic through the strait stays far below prewar levels, though US Energy Secretary Chris Wright claims record flows.
