Trump compares US blockade of Iranian ports to piracy: calling it a "very profitable business"

Odaily reported that US President Trump said on Friday that the US Navy's maritime blockade of Iranian ports during the war between the US and Israel against Iran is, in some ways, "like being pirates." Trump made these remarks while describing the seizure of a vessel by US forces a few days ago. "We took over the ship, took over the cargo, took over the oil. It's a very profitable business," Trump said in a speech on Friday evening. "We're acting like pirates. Kind of like pirates, but we're not playing games." (Jin Shi)
