Vance indicated on Monday that Trump's confident claims about the Strait of Hormuz reopening permanently and toll-free were premature, suggesting key details including the strait's arrangements remain to be worked out over a 60-day negotiation period. This matters because Trump's public messaging to voters emphasized restoration of pre-war conditions and energy independence, while Vance's comments suggest these outcomes are still uncertain and being negotiated. The full deal text has not been released before the Friday signing ceremony, so the broader terms remain unconfirmed by Congress and independent analysis.
