Trump Frustrated With Favorite General Over Consequences of His Own Actions

President Trump reportedly took his top military boss to task over a vital oil route remaining snarled as a result of his Iran war.

Trump, 79, is said to have leaned on Gen. Dan Caine, 57, to explain why battlefield dominance has not translated into instant control of the Strait of Hormuz, despite Caine having repeatedly briefed him on the likely closure of the waterway ahead of the war.

The New York Times reported Sunday that the president ”pressed” Caine in the Oval Office last week about why the Strait of Hormuz could not simply be reopened.
