Trump to discuss Strait of Hormuz demining efforts at G7 as confidence grows for Iran war deal
Shipowners are repositioning vessels as the deal could reopen a waterway that normally carries about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.
Pakistan, a key mediator, said an agreement to end the Iran war is closer than “ever before,” raising hopes that months of conflict could soon be resolved.
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to use the upcoming G7 summit to discuss demining the Strait of Hormuz and meet with regional leaders from Egypt, Qatar and the UAE to advance peace efforts.
