So I mentioned earlier some of the talk in Trump's speech about the Strait of Hormuz, and he's still on this whole thing of like, well, we did all the hard part.

And so now you all who really use the Strait of Hormuz, it's your job to come in and take it back.

Let's take a listen to a little bit of how he presented that case.

So, Sagar, grab it and take it and cherish it.

But also, it's just going to open up naturally anyway at some point.

So, I don't know.

Do they need to do anything if it's just going to naturally open up?

Yeah, I mean, it will if you go and you pay the toll and you make a deal with Iran and you denominate your shipments in Chinese yuan.

Then the street is actually not closed at all for you if you want to go down that path.

And I think that is the path that they will pursue.

President Macron, just speaking this morning in Japan, was asked specifically about this.

He said that Trump contradicts himself all the time and that there is no military solution to the Straits of Hormuz and that it will be resolved diplomatically.

So that is a major NATO power.
