Trump reveals what Iran’s mysterious ‘present’ to U.S. was

President Donald Trump on Thursday revealed that the mysterious “present” the U.S. received from Iran was their permitting eight oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.Earlier this week, Trump teased that Iran had offered the U.S. a mysterious “present” without revealing what it was.
“I told you about a present, Right? Steve, can I reveal the present?” he said during the Cabinet meeting. “They said, ‘to show you the fact that we’re real and solid and we’re there, we’re going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil.’ This was two days ago, and they’ll sail up tomorrow.”
“That was three days ago, and I didn’t think much about it, and then I watched the news, and they said a very good anchor actually happened to be Fox when I watched it, and he said, ‘Something’s unusual happening. There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz straight. Eight big tankers are going loaded up with oil right through’ and I said, ‘Well, I guess, I guess they were, they were real,'” Trump added.
He further indicated that the ships were flying Pakistani flags and that he took their voyage as a sign that negotiations with Iranian authorities were in good faith.
