        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dramatically withdrawn the 'Freedom Project' just two days after its launch, aimed at liberating the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian control. The initiative failed due to Saudi Arabia, a key US ally in the Gulf, blocking access to its military bases and airspace for American forces. This development highlights tensions between the US and Saudi Arabia, forcing Trump to cancel the operation following unsuccessful talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.",
        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, WASHINGTON \u2013 President Donald Trump has dramatically\nwithdrawn the \u2018Freedom Project\u2019 just two days after it began. This\nproject was part of the US efforts to free the Strait of Hormuz from\nIranian control. According to reports, the programme failed after the US\nally in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, blocked access to its military bases and\nairspace for America. \u201cTrump\u2019s decision to halt the operation was driven\nby complaints from Saudi Arabia,\u201d two US officials told NBC News. Saudi\nleaders were reportedly furious over the US move and informed the US\nthat Riyadh would not allow American military forces to fly aircraft\nthrough Prince Sultan Air Base, located southeast of the capital Riyadh.\nOfficials said the Kingdom also refused access for any US aircraft to\nfly through Saudi airspace as part of the Freedom Project. It was\nreported that a telephone conversation took place between Trump and\nSaudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. However, the two failed to reach\nan agreement, forcing the US president to cancel the operation.<\/p>",
