Trump Says Strait of Hormuz and Saudi Concerns Will 'Work Out Just Fine'
President Donald Trump said everything would 'work out just fine' when asked about helping move traffic through the Strait of Hormuz amid fresh concerns about Saudi Arabia.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that matters would resolve themselves when he was asked whether Washington could help facilitate traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, amid renewed concerns involving Saudi Arabia.
Speaking in Dublin following a meeting with Irish President Catherine Connolly, Trump offered a brief and optimistic response to the question. "Everything will work out just fine," he said.
The remarks came against the backdrop of fresh worries linked to Saudi Arabia, though the president did not elaborate on the nature of those concerns or on any specific measures the United States might take.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically vital maritime corridor through which a significant share of global energy supplies passes, making any disruption there a matter of international attention. Trump's comment suggested he did not anticipate lasting trouble in the waterway.
No further details were immediately provided about the discussions in Dublin or about any planned US action related to the strait or to Saudi Arabia.
