MAGA influencer and former chief White House strategist Steve Bannon anticipated what President Donald Trump will announce during his address to the nation on Wednesday night.
Trump was slated to speak to the American public at 9 p.m. ET about important updates related to the war in Iran, which has reached its fifth week since the United States and Israel began launching military strikes, according to Politico.
Bannon expected that Trump would make the case that the U.S. has been victorious, describe the military achievements and what comes next before American troops leave the region.
One of the largest issues Trump has faced amid the military conflict has been the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman where approximately one-third of the world's seaborne oil passes, making it one of the most strategically important maritime chokepoints globally.
Bannon also said Trump would blame NATO allies for reopening shipping traffic in the region.
According to Bannon, the president would talk about "dumping on the NATO allies – it’s their issue."
“Two, three weeks, definable objectives. ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ — and we are hanging around a couple of weeks to conquer some more — maybe even then a ceasefire, while reiterating that the Hormuz situation is the Gulf Emirates’ and the Europeans’ to solve, and declare victory,” Bannon said.
