President Donald Trump says the US Navy is acting “like pirates” in carrying out Washington’s naval blockade of Iranian ports during the US and Israel’s war against Iran, Reuters reports.
Trump made the comments while describing the seizure by US forces of a ship a few days ago.
“We took over the ship, we took over the cargo, we took over the oil. It’s a very profitable business,” Trump said in remarks on Friday evening. “We’re like pirates. We’re sort of like pirates but we are not playing games.”
