Trump pauses 'Project Freedom' in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump paused 'Project Freedom', the American military's effort to guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, so that Washington could finalise a deal with Iran. He, however, said the US blockade of Iranian ports would continue. Trump claimed he was pausing the effort for a short period, saying, "Will see whether or not...Agreement is finalised."
