Speaking from India, where he was meeting with the country’s foreign minister, Mr Rubio highlighted that an outline to resolve the critical shipping passage's situation was taking shape. Donald Trump announced on social media that a “largely negotiated” memorandum of understanding (MOU) was in place, which would facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump stated that this emerging agreement would address the vital shipping passage, whose closure has triggered a global energy crisis since the US and Israel initiated a conflict with Iran in February. He further added that the “final aspects and details” of the deal were currently under discussion and would be announced shortly, though he did not specify other components of the agreement.
