According to a report by Fox News, on Tuesday June 23, 2026, President Donald Trump declared a major foreign policy victory following a high-stakes diplomatic weekend in Switzerland, announcing that the vital Strait of Hormuz remains fully operational and that a definitive framework has been established to permanently block Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The announcement, highlighted by Fox News host Jesse Watters, comes amid intense, round-the-clock negotiations led by the Trump administration at Lake Lucerne.
Despite initial fears of escalating regional conflict and potential blockades in global shipping lanes, Trump struck an incredibly triumphant tone regarding both energy security and denuclearization.
Addressing the status of global shipping lanes after intense back-and-forth negotiations with Iranian leadership, President Trump emphasized that commercial oil traffic is flowing at unprecedented, historic volumes.
“We’re doing very well with respect to the Strait of Hormuz,” President Trump stated. “We took in more oil yesterday than has ever gone through the strait. You probably see that. We have an oil gusher.”
The administration’s comments follow reports that 17 million barrels of oil sailed safely through the maritime corridor over the weekend, rendering public Iranian threats to shutter the strait ineffective.
Trump summarized the ultimate achievements of the Swiss summit as a double victory for American interests and global stability, securing both open trade routes and strict non-proliferation commitments.
“We have two things,” Trump explained. “We have an open strait and we have a country that will never have a nuclear weapon. Will never, ever have a nuclear weapon.”
