President Donald Trump floated joint control of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested he didn’t know who was currently leading Iran when responding to a reporter on Monday morning.
Trump spoke to journalists on the tarmac of Palm Beach International Airport as he departed Florida after spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago and was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins who was in control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The President answered that the Strait would be open ‘real soon’ if a deal he’s teased with Iran works.
‘It’ll be jointly controlled,’ he said of the waterway.
When asked who would be jointly controlling it, Trump added, ‘maybe me, maybe me.’
‘Me and the ayatollah, whoever the ayatollah is, whoever the next ayatollah [is.],’ the President continued.
Trump then argued that no matter what, Iran’s next leader would represent ‘regime change.’
‘There’s automatically a regime change,’ the President added.
