U.S. President Trump Announces Plans to Reopen Hormuz Strait

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on April 11 that the United States will "soon" resume passage through the Hormuz Strait, acknowledging that the process "will not be easy." According to BlockBeats, Trump did not disclose specific plans for execution. Trump mentioned that other countries have expressed willingness to assist in ensuring the security of shipping through the strait, though he did not specify which nations would be involved. Previously, reports indicated that NATO members have been discussing ways to help secure this critical waterway. The Hormuz Strait is one of the world's most vital energy transport routes, handling approximately 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Since Iran's blockade of the strait, global energy supplies have been significantly disrupted, leading to substantial fluctuations in oil prices and increased market uncertainty. Although the U.S. and Iran have announced a temporary ceasefire, shipping through the strait remains largely halted. The progress of reopening depends on subsequent security arrangements and the evolution of geopolitical conditions.
