On May 28, U.S. President Trump said on Wednesday local time that the Strait of Hormuz will be open to everyone and will not be controlled by any country, no matter what agreement is reached with Iran. Trump said: "We will regulate it, but no one will directly control it. This is part of our negotiation process." He did not say what measures the United States would take to ensure that ships could pass safely through the strait. Trump's remarks cast doubts on whether an immediate breakthrough can be achieved between the United States and Iran. Previously, both sides have stated in recent days that progress has been made, so the market is optimistic about reaching an agreement. The situation in the strait is a key difficulty in negotiations between the two sides. Trump said the United States was "not satisfied" with the outcome of negotiations aimed at ending the nearly three-month war and pointed out that "maybe we have to revisit and finish the war," but did not further elaborate on whether that meant further military action. Trump also downplayed the possibility of lifting Iran sanctions. "We are by no means talking about easing sanctions or releasing funds or anything like that. There is no such thing at all." he said.
