Trump hints Hormuz Strait could become U.S. territory as Iran talks stall

TL;DR Summary
President Trump floated declaring the Strait of Hormuz as a U.S. territory amid stalled peace talks with Iran, saying the blockade effectively gives the U.S. control of the chokepoint; Iran dismissed the threat and said it would control any opening or closing of the strait. The remarks come as the war drags on, global fuel prices rise, and no breakthrough in negotiations is in sight.
