Trump's White House appointment in Iran negotiation: Blockade and Hormuz on the table

President Donald Trump will host Qatar’s prime minister at the White House in a bid to revive ceasefire and nuclear talks with Iran, with a two-day proposal centering on a naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Washington has not yet signaled agreement, leaving the negotiations short of a breakthrough. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, so its status carries direct implications for energy markets. Watch for whether Washington endorses the two-day framework and whether the blockade and Hormuz reopening are formally linked in any deal.
