  "summary": "President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as \"Trump Strait,\" asserting US control of the vital waterway even as fighting raged there with Iran. It is the latest in a series of geographical name changes floated by Trump, and comes after he claimed US sovereignty over the strait that Tehran has effectively shut for six months.",
