- Story Text:U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Thursday (March 26) that Iran let ten oil tankers transit the Strait of Hormuz as a goodwill gesture in negotiations, including some Pakistan-flagged vessels.
Trump made the comments at a Cabinet meeting in the White House, elaborating on what he had previously described as a "present" from Iran.
"They said, to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil," Trump said. "I guess they were right, and they were real, and I think they were Pakistani-flagged... It ended up being 10 boats."
