Troops in MidEast Give US Options, Leverage in Talks, Says Ret. Maj. Gen. Robeson

Retired Marine Corps Major General Mastin Robeson said that increased troops sent to the MidEast means that the US has 'positioned sufficient assets' to be able to enact leverage over negotiations to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the war with Iran. Robeson also discussed how the war has impacted the US relationship with China, as Xi moves to invite Taiwan's opposition leader for a meeting ahead of the scheduled Trump, Xi meeting in May.
