Trump saying "this tells me we are talking with the right people' indicates that he considers the gesture (I personally think its a deal or promise of some sort, rather than a material gift) to mean their ascendancy would be good for his (USA) objectives.
My read was that it's information of some kind that can prove that these people are legit. I can't listen to the video right now, but when i first heard it i distinctly remember hearing the word "proves" when the reporter asked why he would trust them.
Maybe intel related to Iranian assets in the strait. Maybe codes to unlock some oil infrastructure. Maybe be locations of booby traps in the strait
NB: Lots of fear mongering going on. Oil shock, prices, rationing of fuel (outside the US), lockdowns - don't travel so much, etc.
Me? Ordering another shipment of popcorn. Worst case scenario? Heck, I survived 2020 and 2021 in (my country). I can survive pretty much anything at this point.

All seem like very plausible suggestions.
How exciting!

Anyone panicing about oil prices can learn a thing or two from the great toilet paper panic if 2020s in Australia 😂
For me, of someone asked what would i be willing to pay for world peace, i have to say 2x gas prices perfectly okay fits me!
