Saudi Arabia, Kuwait cut US base, airspace access, forcing pause of Trump's 'Project Freedom' US President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his “Project Freedom" plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after Saudi Arabia suspended US access to Prince Sultan Airbase and Saudi airspace to carry out the operation, NBC News reported, citing two US officials. The report said that Trump's announcement of the plan on social media Sunday afternoon frustrated leadership in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom then informed the US that it would not support the plan.
