- Trump said he wants his legacy to be remembered as a great peacemaker, citing his role in ending eight wars, including the India‑Pakistan conflict last year.
- Future Investment Initiative held its Priority Summit in Miami, where Trump delivered his remarks.
- Strait of Hormuz must be reopened as a condition for any U.S.–Iran agreement, with Trump stressing the need to restore maritime oil‑shipping access.
- NATO was dismissed by Trump as a ‘paper tiger’ during his speech.
- Cuba was warned by Trump as ‘next’ after he claimed to have ‘knocked the hell out of Iran’.
Why it matters: Trump’s insistence that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened makes the restoration of oil‑shipping routes a concrete condition for any U.S.–Iran agreement, directly curbing Iran’s leverage over global oil flows and underscoring the U.S. focus on maritime security.
