Trump says U.S. will help with ‘traffic buildup’ in Hormuz Strait

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (April 8, 2026) that the United States will help with traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz, hours after Washington and Tehran agreed to a truce.

The countries agreed to a two-week ceasefire barely an hour before Mr. Trump’s Wednesday (April 8) deadline to obliterate Iran was set to expire.
