00:01Representatives from over 40 countries met in the United Kingdom to discuss ways to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
00:10The French president believes that the U.S. president's comments about his marriage are neither elegant nor up to standard.
00:21U.S. President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi and replaced her with his personal lawyer Todd Blanche.
00:35The U.S. President Donald Trump fired the U.S. president of the United Kingdom to discuss ways to reopen
00:41the Strait of Hormuz,
00:43a critical passage for energy exports that has been chalked off by the war in the Middle East.
00:48It is estimated that five vessels passed through the Strait in the last 24 hours instead of 150 on a
00:56normal day,
00:56stressed U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who has chaired the meeting.
01:01Cooper said the talks focused on political and diplomatic rather than military means.
01:09We have seen Iran hijack an international shipping route to hold the global economy hostage.
01:17This is hitting the trading routes for Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi, Oman, Iraq.
01:24But that means liquid natural gas for Asia, fertilizer.
01:28U.S. President Donald Trump did not attend the meeting after he said securing the waterway closed following U.S.-Israeli
01:36strikes on Iran was not his country's job.
01:39During a visit in South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the United States' idea of forcibly clearing the Strait
01:47of Hormuz
01:47through a military operation was unrealistic.
01:51This is the option we have received. We consider it irrealistic.
01:56It is irrealistic because it would take a infinite time and it would expose everyone who would go through the
02:01Strait,
02:02the risks with the battalion from the revolution guard, the means, but also ballistic missiles.
02:08Oil prices jumped 10% on Thursday following Trump's threat of further U.S. strikes on Iran.
02:18The French President Emmanuel Macron was not amused by Donald Trump's comments about his marriage.
02:25During a private lunch on Wednesday, the U.S. President remarked about the French President that his wife treats him
02:31extremely badly and that he was still recovering from the right to the jaw.
02:35The White House had shared the video before taking it down.
02:38The U.S. President was referring to a May 2025 news video that appeared to show Brigitte Macron shoving the
02:46French President's face on a trip to Vietnam.
02:58Emmanuel Macron said also that U.S. President was undermining NATO by creating daily doubt about his commitment to the
03:05North Atlantic Alliance.
03:06In a newspaper interview on Wednesday, Trump said that he is considering pulling his country out of NATO, slamming the
03:13Defense Alliance as a paper tiger.
03:16Trump has repeatedly railed against Western partners for not responding to his call to assemble a naval force to help
03:23reopen the crucial strait of Hormuz.
03:30U.S. President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday and named his former personal lawyer as acting
03:38chief of the Justice Department.
03:41Trump announced the move in a post on social media, which comes amid criticisms of Bondi's handling of the Epstein
03:47files and her failure to prosecute several of Trump's perceived enemies.
03:52Trump called Bondi a great American patriot and a loyal friend and praised her for her tremendous job in reducing
03:59crime rates across the country.
04:02The president named Todd Blanche as interim head of the department until a permanent attorney general is appointed.
04:09Blanche was one of Trump's personal lawyers who defended him in multiple criminal cases he faced after he left the
04:15White House in 2021 at the end of his first term.
04:19Bondi had been a staunch ally of the U.S. president, but drew fire from some of Trump's supporters over
04:26her handling of the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
04:31The Epstein affair has been a major political liability for Trump, who was a longtime friend of the disgraced financier.
04:39Bondi's ouster comes nearly a month after Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was replaced by Mark Wayne
04:46Mullen in March.
