Open original source ↗Apparently, Trump did NOT announce the Navy will start escorting ships through the Strait tomorrow (even though that is what he posted two hours ago).
This might explain why markets are hardly moving on this news ... he effectively announced nothing (and furthered a White House "stuck" about what to do).
Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
President Trump did not announce an escort mission just now, US officials say. Project Freedom, earlier called the Maritime Freedom Construct, is a coordination cell. It’ll tell US-flagged ships and others the safe lanes to navigate the Strait of Hormuz (aka no mines, etc.)
