New bullsh*t Bush term: Trump Announces ‘Project Freedom’ to Escort Neutral Ships Out of Strait of Hormuz | 3 May 2026 | U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a new initiative aimed at safely escorting foreign vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. In a statement posted online, Trump said multiple countries had requested U.S. assistance to help free their ships, describing them as “neutral and innocent bystanders” caught in a conflict they are not involved in. The U.S. president revealed that Washington would begin guiding these vessels out of restricted waters under a plan dubbed “Project Freedom,” scheduled to start Monday morning, Middle East time. Trump emphasized that the operation is intended as a humanitarian effort to ensure the safety of crews and allow global trade to continue uninterrupted.
