Trump says Iran gave US 'significant prize' tied to Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump said Iran had given the United States a “significant prize” worth a “tremendous amount of money,” adding that it was related to the Strait of Hormuz.

"They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present, and the present arrived today, and it was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money," he told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

"I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize, and they gave it to us…So that meant one thing to me, we’re dealing with the right people,” he added.

“It wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related, and it was a very nice thing they did,” Trump said.
