Trump claimed the U.S. controlled Iranian funds worth hundreds of billions of dollars and the Strait of Hormuz. He also accused Democratic-led states of corruption and alleged billions were stolen monthly.
President Donald Trump on Thursday said an agreement with Iran was no longer needed and told Vice President JD Vance to prioritize corruption and crime claims in Democratic-led cities and states.
In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed the U.S. controlled Iranian funds worth hundreds of billions of dollars and the Strait of Hormuz. He presented those claims alongside his position that an agreement with Iran was no longer needed.
Trump named Minnesota, California and Illinois and alleged that billions of dollars were stolen each month. He said addressing what he characterized as large-scale criminal activity could quickly balance the U.S. budget.
His request to Vance covered Democratic-led cities and states across the country, while the post singled out the three states.
