U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday (March 27) Iran is "the bully any longer" and called on the country to open the Strait of Hormuz referring to it as the "Strait of Trump."

The United Nations said on Friday it was setting up a task force to design a mechanism to keep trade flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that disruptions caused by the Iran war risked greater food shortages and humanitarian crises worldwide.

"We're crushing Iran currently as we speak. I just looked we had another big day. We hit them. They don't know what's happening. Remember this, they lied about, three days ago, I said, 'yeah, we're negotiating.' 'We are not negotiating.' They're being hit so hard. Anybody would be negotiating. They are negotiating. They're begging to make a deal. They're begging to make a deal. Turned out I was right. They were negotiating, which they admitted two days later. And in order to make up for their misstatement, they said, we're going to send you eight ships of oil. And the following day I saw, this is two days ago, I saw one of the networks, very strange, there are eight ships of oil coming out of Iran. And then they actually said we're going to add an extra two and they added an extra two. So we had ten ships and then people realized we were actually negotiating. And we're negotiating now. It'd be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump, I mean, Hormuz."/ CROWD LAUGHING

6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, SAYING:

"So the Middle East will be transformed and the future of that region is never, I don't think it's ever looked brighter. You couldn't have, you know, we did the Abraham Accords. I hope you're going to be getting into the Abraham Accords finally. Yeah, sir, would you please go back and explain. It's time now. You know, Mohammed (bin Salman) said, 'oh, yes, as soon as we do this, as soon as we do that.' I said 'Mohammed, we did that.' 'Yes. But we have a couple of other things.' It's now time. We've now taken them out and they are out bigly. We got to get into the Abraham Accords and we hope all of the countries are going to be in the Abraham Accords. We have some very brave countries that did it, you know, years ago. They went in and, you know who they are. The four, the early four. And they did a great thing in doing it. And it was great for them also economically, but it was a great thing that they did it. But I think all the Middle Eastern countries are going to be joining now."
