Trump clarified the content of his statement yesterday regarding the negotiations they are conducting with the Iranians, in which he said, "Iran sent us a gift."
The US President stated that the Iranian officials with whom they are negotiating, whose names he did not disclose, told them, "We will give you 8 ship-loads of oil to show that we are real and solid negotiators."
He noted that he did not initially take the matter seriously, but later saw a report on an American television channel about 8 oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, adding, "This happened two days ago and the ships will set sail tomorrow. When I saw that news, I said, 'I think we are talking to the right people.' I think the ships were flying the Pakistani flag."
The US President said that the Iranians later added 2 more ships, allowing for the passage of a total of 10 oil tankers.
