Trump Again – Renamed the Strait of Hormuz the 'Strait of Trump'

Former US President Donald Trump caused laughter at a speech in Miami, referring to the Strait of Hormuz as the 'Strait of Trump'. This comment was made while discussing Iran's ability to disrupt global oil supplies through control of the Strait. Trump had previously suggested the Strait be jointly controlled with the Ayatollah, and claims Iran is negotiating with the US. Additionally, the New York Post reports that Trump is considering renaming the Strait in his honor, or calling it the 'Strait of America', continuing his trend of associating his name with public works and locations.
