#Trump claimed on Friday that he will make the #StraitOfHormuz a #USterritory, despite the fact that #Oman & #Iran share jurisdiction of the waterway.

The #dictator did not elaborate on how he would make the critical shipping lane a U.S. territory, considering the U.S. does not have jurisdiction over the waterway.
