President Trump previously said a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and a 60-day extension to the ceasefire were largely negotiated. No mention was made of the fate of Iran s nuclear program or its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, a long-term sticking point in stalled negotiations.
Johnson spoke with the hosts of Fox & Friends Weekend from the sidelines of the Indianapolis 500 about how he spoke with Trump Saturday night about the proposed deal. He said the president was resolute as he s been from the beginning.
We ll take care of the nuclear dust, Johnson said. We ll get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, which will be great for gas prices here and stability around the world, and that s why all the regional allies are following U.S. leadership under President Trump.
