  "summary": "President Trump claims he is involved in negotiations between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to CBS News. Iran has been seeking sanctions relief in exchange for agreeing to a toll-free passage in the strait, with negotiations reportedly in the final stages, as reported by The National UAE.\n\nThe proposed deal has raised concerns among maritime experts, who warn that allowing Iran to impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz would undermine the principle of freedom of navigation that has governed global trade since the Second World War. This is according to Tom Sharpe, a maritime security expert and former British Royal Navy officer, who spoke to The National UAE.\n\nIran has also been reported to be aiming to ban US ships from the Strait of Hormuz, according to NPR. Meanwhile, President Trump has signed two new orders targeting birthright citizenship, NPR also reports.",
