WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Vice President JD Vance will attend the signing ceremony of an agreement between the United States and Iran, which is expected to take place in Europe early next week.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the agreement is signed, adding that the naval blockade would remain fully in place until the deal is finalised.
