US Senator Chris Van Hollen has accusedTrump of personally profiting from the war with Iran after a report by Democrats on the congressional Joint Economic Committee found that the president’s oil and gas holdings may have gained as much as $15.5m this year.
“Clearly, you’ve got a president who’s profiting from the illegal war that he started, along with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu,” the Democratic senator told MSNBC.
He said Trump had used the White House as a “pay-to-play casino” and had “pocketed over a billion dollars” since returning to office.

Iran and Oman will discuss a specific approach to managing ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz within up to two months, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, announced.
ReplyDelete"We will hold negotiations regarding future agreements on how to manage the Strait of Hormuz within 30 to 60 days," Gharibabadi said. Also, he added, the sides will have to agree a new permanent route.
The Iranian diplomat confirmed that the waterway will remain closed and that Iran has full control of the area. He also dismissed a remark from US President Donald Trump saying that all mines have been removed from the Strait as empty words.
