Donald Trump proposed that the United States could help secure the Strait of Hormuz through a 'joint venture' with Iran, The Caspian Post reports, citing CNN.

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture,” Trump told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl when asked about Tehran charging tolls for passage in the strait. “It’s a way of securing it - also securing it from lots of other people.”

It is unclear if Iran would be open to this plan as talks are expected to continue during the two-week ceasefire.

Earlier this week, Trump said he would rather the US instead of Iran impose a toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
