set off a historic energy crisis. His NPR's Aabatrawe reports there's no sign of relief for global markets in light of the latest responses from the leaders of Iran and the U.S. President Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iranian vessels.
Under Iran's proposal, nuclear talks would be delayed to a later stage. Trump told Axios he sees the U.S. blockade as "somewhat more effective than the bombing" and that he does not want to lift the blockade on Iranian ships because he does not want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes.
Until Axios it was time for Iran to quote "cryonkel" and say "we give up."

Earlier this week, Chancellor Friedrich Meritz remarked Iran had, quote, "humiliated" the U.S.A. with its negotiating skills. Maine's Governor Janet Mills is suspending her Democratic campaign for the Senate seat
long held by Republican Susan Collins, Kevin Miller with Maine Public Radio Reports. Immerse polls have shown Mills badly trailing her chief Democratic rival, Graham Platner, headed into the state's June 9th primary. But Mills had in his statement that while she had the drive to continue her campaign, she lacked the financial resources she would need.
Mills, whose Maine's first female governor, was recruited by Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer to run against Collins, who is widely regarded as one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents this year. Now, the Democratic establishment will likely have to rally around Platner, a Marine Corps veteran and Oysterman who's been drawing large crowds since last summer with his populist anti-establishment message.
