Trump says the U.S. will begin escorting ships in the Strait of Hormuz
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, while showing little optimism about accepting a recent proposal from Tehran to end the conflict. Trump stated that the U.S. will start escorting the ships on Monday, noting that this is a response to other countries—whom he did not identify, but mentioned are not involved in the conflict—that have requested assistance to free vessels trapped in the passage. 'For the sake of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these countries that we will safely guide their ships out of these restricted waters so they can continue their activities freely,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added that the operation to escort the vessels will be called 'Project Freedom' and said that intermediaries have communicated this decision to the affected countries.
