President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the U.S. will impose a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway through which about 20% of the world's energy passes, after talks with Iran in Pakistan failed.
In a social media publication, Trump said: "Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz."
