Trump: Willing to Restart 'Operation Warp Speed' if Necessary, Even Consider 'Stronger Measures'

BlockBeats News, May 11th - U.S. President Trump stated that he watched the CBS News "60 Minutes" interview with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling the program "quite good," but he disagreed with Netanyahu's statement that "no one can fully predict an Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz."

Trump responded, saying, "I can predict. I know they will close the strait. That is their only weapon. It's not much of a weapon anymore, but it's still their only weapon."

He also mentioned that if it were not for previous assistance provided to certain countries and in response to their requests, the U.S. could have kept the strait open through an "unleashing plan." He added that if necessary, the U.S. could reinitiate a similar action, even taking "tougher measures." (FXStreet)
