US President Donald Trump did not rule out that the maritime blockade against Iran will be maintained until the beginning of September. “Armenpress”According to the report, in an interview with the New York Post, the US leader was asked whether he thinks the naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain in force until Labor Day, which is traditionally celebrated in the US on September 7.
“I don’t know. In other words, I think that something like this is possible, but I consider it unlikely…. I think the situation will be resolved quite quickly,” the US president answered.
The media outlet notes that if the naval blockade is maintained until the fall, it will mean that fuel prices will not fall throughout the summer, and this will hurt Republicans in the November 3 midterm elections.
Trump added that negotiations with Iran are “developing rapidly”. According to him, there will be no nuclear weapons and “many good things will happen”.
