Trump Helps Ships at Sea
On May 3, U.S. President Trump made a new plan. He calls it 'Project Freedom.' The plan helps ships leave a sea near Iran. Many oil ships use this sea. The U.S. uses warships and 15,000 soldiers.
In February, the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Iran then closed the sea to most ships. More than 850 ships are stuck. About 20,000 sailors are stuck too.
Oil prices went up because of this. Gas now costs $4.39for one gallon. Trump said any attack on his plan is dangerous. Iran said it is ready to fight back.
