Vice President J.D.

We have seen an uptick of traffic in the Strait today.

And I will reiterate the president's expectation and demand that the Strait of Hormuz is reopened immediately, quickly and safely.

That is his expectation.

It has been relayed to him privately that that is what's taking place.

And these reports publicly are false.
