Trump, Iran Discuss Strait of Hormuz, Nuclear Talks

0:00It's April 27, I'm Cory with The Story. This is Global News, driven by AI and built for a global audience. President Trump sat down with his top national security team on Monday to talk about a fresh proposal from Iran aimed at cooling things down between the two countries. The Iranian idea calls for reopening the strait of Hormuz right away for oil shipments while putting talks on their nuclear program off until later. But Trump is sticking to his guns, demanding that waterway stays open and Iran, hands over its enriched uranium stockpile, no questions asked. White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt fielded questions on it during a briefing, but she kept it neutral, saying no one's jumping to. Conclusions just yet. This comes amid ongoing tensions that have shipping routes choked and markets on edge. Leavitt made clear they had a solid discussion that morning, but it's early days. She doesn't want to scoop the president himself. White Trump to weigh in directly soon with his take. For now, the balls and play as both sides test the waters on these high stakes demands.
