US Senator Bernie Sanders has responded to Donald Trump’s suggestion that the Strait of Hormuz should be renamed “Trump Strait”.


In a post on X, Sanders said “No, Mr. Trump. The American people don’t want you to rename the Strait of Hormuz after yourself.

“They want you to end your illegal war in Iran that has raised diesel prices to $5.69 a gallon & gas prices to $4.12 a gallon.”

“You’re the President, not a mad king. Act like it,” Sanders added.
