EVIAN, France -- US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States is going to have the Strait of Hormuz fully opened by Friday.
"The ships are starting to move nicely. Oil is starting to go, and the prices are coming down rapidly," Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) summit in France, stressing the most important part is that "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon."
"We have our deal done with Iran. It should be successful. It goes to a second stage, which I think will be easier," Trump said.
He dismissed the claim of a 300-billion-US dollar fund to rebuild Iran as a "rumor." The United States is "not investing any money in Iran," he said.
