PNN – A U.S. senator called on Donald Trump to act in a manner befitting the President of the United States—rather than like a mad king—and to put an end to the illegal war with Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network citing Russia Today, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders responded to a post by President Donald Trump in which Trump suggested renaming the strategic Strait of Hormuz to the “Trump Strait” after the U.S. gained control over it.
Sanders wrote in a post on the X platform: No, Mr. Trump, the American people do not want you to name the Strait of Hormuz after yourself… They want you to end your illegal war in Iran—a war that has driven the price of diesel to $5.69 per gallon and gasoline to $4.12 per gallon… You are a president, not a mad king; so act like one.
Trump had previously written on the Truth Social platform: Now that the Strait of Hormuz has come under the control of the United States, should we rename it the Trump Strait?
While Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed to have brought the Strait of Hormuz under control, information from international circles indicates that Iran maintains full control over this strategic waterway, with navigation conducted under Iranian security arrangements. Preliminary shipping data released today, Thursday, shows that six cargo vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday; this figure represents a drop from the eleven vessels recorded the previous day and is well below the ten-day average of approximately thirteen ships.
