Trump says US Navy will blockade Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump said today the US Navy will begin blockading ships in the Strait of Hormuz and interdicting every ship that has paid a toll to Iran, after US peace talks with the country collapsed.

Trump also said the US will prevent passage for any ship that has paid a toll to Iran and will begin removing mines from the strait.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria gauges the potential effectiveness of a US blockade with former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis and CNN’s Dana Bash gets reaction from former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).
