President Donald Trump stood firm on his warnings to Iran this week, emphasizing the need for American strength to secure global stability.
During the White House Easter Egg Roll, the president said his bold rhetoric was meant to stress the urgency of opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Critics from the left and even some former allies have questioned the president’s tone during the holy season of Easter.
