President #Trump threatened On August 17 to bomb #Oman if the country "gets in the way" of #US efforts to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz and end the #war with #Iran, according to #FoxNews.
Earlier, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said #Tehran had reached an agreement with Oman regarding #future shipping routes in the strait.
Trump Update: #Trump says he would require compensation from #Iran as condition for talks. #Oil prices are up as the #US and #Tehran name new conditions for a deal to reopen the critical waterway.
BREAKING NEWS: #WillScharf, who as staff secretary that helped #Trump secure approval for his US$400 million #ballroom, will replace #DavidWarrington on September 1 2026.
Weird: On Aug.7: Court rules Trump can’t build #WhiteHouse ballroom without congressional approval?
( Well He Getting It Now...Very Smart Move Before Midterm Election Also!)
I understand What #Trump want, But #Xi said himself #China agreed #AI partnerships with "28 countries", mostly from the global south. AI is “probably the biggest thing anybody’s ever seen” in 2026 (and still growing past all the #water it's subtracting from #earth )
Ill Say This If Nothing Else: All should be on their guard. #Xi, is no friend of the west, maybe morphing into an outright enemy while all eyes are on #Iran, #Gaza and #Ukraine. Symbolically if not yet physically, a dangerously unconstrained Xi is shutting the door on #peaceful coexistence at home and abroad. #Trump better keep his eyes open, on all enemies he call FRIENDS!
Yo 😂 #Xi , out here manoeuvring around #Trump on Asia-Pacific security and #Taiwan, accumulating geopolitical clout, and winning #trade and #techwars. (He feeling a little to comfortable in #china )
