Trump Tells Reporter 'You Know Nothing' After Iran Question
President Donald Trump snapped at a female reporter Saturday on the White House lawn, telling her she doesn't know anything about Iran. The reporter had asked about ongoing negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz around 5 PM.
President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter Saturday evening outside the White House after she asked about Iran negotiations. The incident happened around 5 PM as Trump spoke with several reporters on the White House lawn before heading to Joint Base Andrews.
The reporter asked about ongoing negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. Trump responded by telling her she doesn't know a "darn thing" about Iran and berated her question.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil chokepoints, with about 20% of global petroleum passing through the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman. Any disruption to shipping there can affect global energy markets.
Trump has frequently clashed with reporters throughout his presidency, often dismissing questions he doesn't like or criticizing journalists directly. Saturday's exchange follows this pattern of confrontational responses to press inquiries about foreign policy.
Trump's handling of press questions shows his approach to media relations and foreign policy discussions. The Strait of Hormuz is a key oil shipping route that affects global energy prices and supply chains.
Watch for more details about the Iran negotiations and any follow-up on the reporter exchange.
