Trump Announces Project Freedom to Escort Neutral Ships Through Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump announced a new plan called Project Freedom to help neutral cargo ships leave the Strait of Hormuz. The operation will start Monday morning. Trump said many countries not involved in the conflict asked the United States to help their ships exit the restricted waters. The U.S. military will escort these vessels so they can continue their business after being stuck in the area. The President called this a humanitarian act because many ships are running low on food and supplies. Trump said his team is still talking with Iran, but he warned that any interference with the ships will be dealt with using force. Supporters of the plan say it is time to stop Iran from blocking important world trade routes.
