Ceasefire, which is another word for surrender. He then declared Iran's totally non-workable 10 point plan a basis for negotiation for an end to the war. Trump also declared disinterest in if the Strait was open or closed and even suggested he might be open to tolling the Strait with Iran...

Then, he sent his team to negotiate his terms to the Iranians. His terms contained none of Iran's ten points, and now he cares about the Strait being open...

And somehow this strategy failed. Amazing.
