President Trump told reporters as he left the White House that he was rejecting Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and restart talks, saying the U.S. has total control of the strait and that 29 ships came out overnight.
Why it matters
The rejection follows a Wall Street Journal report that Trump expects to resume bombing after the November midterms, leaving the blockade in place and the path to reopening Hormuz uncertain.
