U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday securing the Strait of Hormuz is "not for us" as he estimated the US will be done attacking Iran in 2 to 3 weeks.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that the U.S. will “will not have anything to do with” what happens in the Strait of Hormuz, instead telling reporters that the responsibility for keeping the vital waterway open would belong with countries that rely on it.

00:00I would say that within two weeks, maybe, two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting them very hard.
00:06Last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities.
00:10Pardon me if you're interrupting. The U.S. will be gone or done with the war?
00:14I think we're two or three weeks. We'll leave. There's no reason for us to do this.
00:19Look, the problem with the strait, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water, and say, oh,
00:24it's unsafe.
00:26That's not for us. That'll be for France.
00:30That'll be for whoever's using the strait.
00:32We'll be leaving very soon, and if France or some other country wants to get oil or gas,
00:40they'll go up through the strait, and almost straight, they'll go right up there,
00:46and they'll be able to fend for themselves.
00:48I think it'll be very safe, actually, but we have nothing to do with that.
00:51What happens to the strait, we're not going to have anything to do with it.
00:54But we're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do
01:01the job.
01:02But we want to knock out every single thing they have.
01:05Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that.
01:08We had regime change already.
01:10We've knocked out one regime, then we knocked out the second regime.
01:13Now we have a group of people that are very different.
01:16They're much more reasonable, I think much less radicalized.
01:21We've had regime change.
01:23We're dealing with people that are much more rational.
01:26so we have to make a deal.
01:27So I'm looking forward to that.
01:30So I was looking forward to that.
01:32You can't see how we're making a deal.
01:38But I have to go up there.
01:39So I'm looking forward to that.
01:39You
