Toyota, let's go places. President Trump over the weekend announcing a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, not sounding overly concerned about oil and gas prices. Because of drill baby drill, we have more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia put together. Spending the weekend in Florida and back in Washington now. Foxes Evan Brown with the very latest on a very active weekend, and it seems like the latest of elements with the president is his public spat with the Pope. Well, yeah, that was something that happened last night. The president posted on social media that he's not pleased with Pope Leo and some of the rhetoric that the Pope has been giving in recent days. Something along the lines of God doesn't bless conflict, which a number of biblical scholars might have... Might take the Holy Father to task at that. There's been a number of instances of holy conflict in the Bible that some people would say, you know, was commanded. Anyhow, the president certainly made his displeasure known through that posting last night. On Iran, the vice president was unable to strike a long-term deal with Pakistan. Did the president seem to indicate that there was some progress, however, that may have been made? Not particularly. The Iranians have a history of dragging people to the negotiation table only to really kind of not give people what they want and start making lists of demands as if they're in a position of power. They may still believe themselves to have some kind of control over the world. I don't know if they really understand the position that they're in. That being said, the president, starting at 10 a.m. today is instituting a naval blockade of Iranian ports along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, which will prevent them from being able to export any black market oil, but it will also prevent them. from being able to import the things that they need. So this is another pressure point. Is there an idea of what the next step may ultimately be in ongoing negotiations amid this still fragile ceasefire? I suspect that the negotiations will not persist because they're not going to find any agreement, in which case I suspect the hot war will probably resume. The president also, after he had endorsed him, the prime minister, Viktor Orban of Hungary, losing a pretty big moment for the EU. Did President Trump have any bit of a response to that?
I don't believe he's made one. It does probably not sit well with the president. He was quite fond of Viktor Orban, the long-serving Prime Minister of Hungary. Viktor Orban is someone who stood in a very strong opposition to European government in terms of the EU and a loss of what he perceived to be national identity among Europe's different nations. The European nation, the European Union has long opposed Mr. Viktor Orban's championship of strong, tight borders and not allowing in large amounts of migrants from Asia and the Middle East. This is something that has led to a lot of consternation between Hungary and the EU. The new prime minister is someone who said to be a bit more conciliatory towards Brussels. So we'll see what that works out. All right, Fox is Evan Brown with a live update for us this morning.
