> Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen “very soon.” The prospect of an interim agreement centered on the waterway gained momentum after Qatar said a proposal had been drafted. A short-term arrangement could help commercial shipping return to normal through the strait. It could also avert a renewed outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, according to the report.
