Trump admin weighs troop deployment to Middle East

LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is speaking with national security analyst, Hal Kempfer, as Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz continues to spark concerns about tightening energy supplies.

Reports indicate that around 20 vessels have been struck as a result of the conflict and closures.
