Former US Ambassador to Denmark talks US Iran stand off as Trump shifts strategy

The United States is in a standoff with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz as President Donald Trump shifts strategy in what was described as a major pivot. Trump scrapped an earlier plan for a 20% fee on cargo transiting the strait and instead announced he is pursuing major trade and investment deals with Gulf states. He also declared a full blockade on Iranian ports and shipping while keeping the waterway open to everyone else. _________________________________________ Follow WCYB on social media: TikTok:   / news5wcyb   Facebook:   / news5wcyb   Twitter:   / news5wcyb   Instagram:   / news5wcyb   Have a tip?
