White House posts map of Hormuz Strait renaming it as 'Trump Strait'

The White House released a map on Wednesday showing the Strait of Hormuz as "Trump Strait", with a caption saying "it's got a nice ring to it".

The picture posted on X included the face of the US president on the map as well as an earlier quote from a post on his Truth Social platform, that read: "Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like America itself, it would be 'hotter' than ever before!"
