EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AFP) — The Strait of Hormuz will be "completely open" from Friday after a deal between Iran and the US to end the Middle East war that limited shipping in the critical bottleneck, President Donald Trump said on Monday. Speaking at the start of bilateral talks with French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of a G7 summit in France, Trump added, "I don't think we are going to need much help" on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, after London and Paris proposed a joint naval mission. Trump said that the Strait was "already partially opened", although there was "hunting" going on to ensure it was de-mined.
