US President Donald Trump has revealed the “present” he claims to have received from Iran was 10 “big boats of oil” that sailed through the Strait of Hormuz.
“Steve, can I reveal the present?” Trump asked Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff at a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Washington time.
He told reporters: “They [Iran] said, ‘To show you the fact that we’re real, it’s solid, and we’re there, we’re going to let you have eight … big boats of oil … and they’ll sail up tomorrow.’
“I didn’t think much about it, and then I watched the news and they said … ‘Something unusual [is] happening, there are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz strait, eight big tankers are going loaded up with oil’,” Trump said.
