Oil is flowing at an unprecedented speed, and this has been made possible by the extraordinary power of the U.S. Army. A special salute to the Secretary of War, Peter Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kinn, and Commander of the U.S. Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Thanks to them and all the members of the most powerful army in the world, the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships—except Iranian ships—and this is due to their false, violent, and destructive leadership that is driving them toward complete destruction. Therefore, we will have a full blockade, but only against ships traveling to and from Iranian ports, or carrying any cargo related to Iran. Based on constructive discussions I have had with leaders of the Middle East, I have decided to replace the United States’ 20% repayment tax with trade and investment agreements that different Gulf countries will have with the United States. These investments will be very large, but at the same time, extremely beneficial for them and their future. As everyone knows, we have made the largest amount of foreign currency investment in history in the United States, but these new investments will make that figure even higher, and we will see factories, facilities, and equipment entering the United States at unprecedented levels, which will create millions of well-paid American jobs! America is winning again, and this is an unprecedented victory. The era of the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people by Iran, including 52,000 protesters, has come to an end, and more importantly, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon! Thank you for your attention. President Donald J. Trump
