Trump describes Hormuz blockade as 'all or nothing' and says UK sending minesweepers
Donald Trump told Fox News the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would be 'all or nothing,' saying he would not allow Iran to sell oil selectively to favoured buyers. He claimed the UK and other countries are sending minesweepers to help clear the waterway, saying the US is deploying 'highly sophisticated underwater minesweepers' alongside traditional ones. The UK government has denied involvement in the blockade itself.
