Trump calls on countries to secure the Strait of Hormuz

Newsday

Available for 18 days

In an interview with the Financial Times, the US leader warned that NATO faced "a very bad future" if member states didn't come to America's aid. We'll hear from people inside Iran -- and those fleeing the country -- as heavy attacks on the capital Tehran continued overnight. And we'll be going live to Los Angeles as the Oscars biggest movie awards ceremony wraps up. The political thriller One Battle After Another has been the biggest winner of the night.
