The US president pauses the military operation to get ships through the Strait of Hormuz two days after he announced it.
President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy will begin guiding foreign ships out of the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, under an initiative he called 'Project Freedom.'
President Donald Trump announced yesterday that the United States had paused efforts to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz while negotiations with Iran move forward.
The US president has abruptly put ‘Project Freedom’ on hold after just two days, citing progress in negotiations with Iran.
US president says ‘Project Freedom’ suspended to see whether an agreement with Iran can be finalised and signed.
