NEW YORK, March 3 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the US Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz if necessary.

"If necessary, the US Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible," he said in a social media post.

He said he had ordered the US-based International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide so-called political risk insurance and guarantees for maritime trade, particularly energy trade, that "passes through the Persian Gulf."

The Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, serves as the only maritime outlet from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, cementing its status as one of the most strategically important waterways in the world.

Iranian media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, declaring the crucial oil and gas waterway unsafe due to attacks by the US and Israel. –0–

Gao Ya, born in 1990, is a member of the 14th National People's Congress. Since taking over as Party Secretary of Qitang Village, Santangjie Township, Taojiang County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, in 2020, she has led the village, which once had a weak collective economy, onto a path to prosperity through industrial development. The village's annual net income has increased from 50,000 yuan in 2021 to over 400,000 yuan in 2025.

Chitang Village is traditionally a grain and oilseed growing area. After Gao Ya took office, she began developing the village's camellia oleifera production. In 2021, a vegetable oil processing plant was built, and that same year, the village's collective farming income reached 237,000 yuan.

Gao Ya points out that rapeseed oil and camellia oil have now become the specific industries of Chitang Village, and a complete industrial chain has been formed, from cultivation and processing to marketing.

Once the industry took shape, the key question became how to attract and retain people. Gao Ya began encouraging and supporting young people working away from home to return to their home villages to pursue entrepreneurship.

Liu Feng was born in the 1980s to a poor family that had just risen from poverty. With Gao Ya's encouragement and support, he returned to his home village and established a rapeseed cooperative, which five farm households joined.

As an NPC deputy, Gao Ya constantly engages with the public, gathers information on public needs, and communicates the views of ordinary people to higher authorities. During her three years as a deputy, she has submitted a total of 19 proposals, many of which relate to the development of her homeland and the improvement of people's lives.

Every time Musazhan Khairat, a deputy of the 14th NPC and a resident of Kezheghetas village, Xiao'erbulake township, Xinyuan county, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, returns from sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC), he first of all conveys to his fellow villagers the spirit of the "two sessions" and the policy of preferential treatment for the population.

After graduating from junior high school, Musazhan Khairat learned to forge iron, then opened his own electric welding workshop. Thanks to his hard work and perseverance, he not only provided a comfortable living for his family but also actively shared his experience, providing free welding training to villagers, helping them open their own workshops, and contributing to their shared income.

Elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, Musazhan Khairat understands the full weight of his responsibility. He is constantly among villagers—on the streets and in the fields—conversing with them, listening attentively to their pressing problems and aspirations. He meticulously notes down every request and transforms it into well-thought-out, actionable proposals.

In response to villagers' complaints about the inconvenience of watering fields and poor roads, Musazhan Khairat, after conducting research, proposed creating high-quality farmland in the Xiao'erbulake Valley area. Thanks to his active support, the farmland improvement project was successfully launched. The widespread use of drip irrigation systems significantly eased farmers' labor and increased their income security. Focusing on high-quality rural development, he made a number of proposals: the reconstruction and expansion of Nalati Airport in Xinyuan County, the upgrading of county roads, and the protection of wetlands. All of this helped expand rural development opportunities and improve the residents' well-being.

From a proactive worker who achieved prosperity through his own labor to a NPC deputy who defends the interests of his fellow villagers, Musazhan Khairat always remains in his home village, keeping his fellow villagers' concerns in his heart. He conscientiously fulfills his duties, resolves the people's real problems, and brings the spirit of the "two sessions" to life at the local level, striving to improve the lives of his fellow villagers day by day.
