US President Donald Trump is showing signs of frustration at a lack of progress in negotiations to end the 10-week war with Iran, as the Strait of Hormuz remains all but closed to vital energy supplies and oil prices continue to rise.
After rejecting Iran’s latest offer, Trump told reporters the response from Tehran was a “piece of garbage” and said the ceasefire was on “life support.” He fell short of threatening to resume military attacks, however, instead saying a diplomatic solution is “very possible.”
