Soft power has been a topic of concern among the foreign policy community for years but it has taken on urgency since the Donald Trump’s first term in office from 2017 to 2021 when he described the European Union as a “foe.”

Trump 2.0: At home and abroad, doubts over the president’s sanity

A blockade means the US Navy will stop and inspect certain ships. But it is not a total shutdown of the entire strait. Ships carrying oil or goods to or from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and other friendly Gulf countries can still pass freely. 

Strait of Hormuz on Edge: Inside America’s high-stakes naval blockade
