President Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Is 'Completely Open'

President Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Is 'Completely Open'

Author: FOX News Radio April 18, 2026 Duration: 17:05
President Trump says that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open and ready for business and full passage." Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi also commented saying the waterway is open through a "coordinated route." President Trump also added, in a phone interview, that Iran has "agreed to everything" including working with the U.S. to remove enriched uranium from Iran. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Christine Balling, former U.S. Defense Advisor and the Senior Vice President at the Institute of World Politics, who says President Trump must have a certain level of confidence to say the Strait of Hormuz is open, but adds the United States military will continue to apply pressure to make sure it remains open.
