Trump Says U.S. Should Collect Fee as ‘GUARDIAN’ of the Strait of Hormuz
The president said the military would reimpose a military blockade of the waterway and the U.S. should charge a 20% fee on the cargo that passes through it.
With the exception of Iran and its clients, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post, all countries would have “fair and open use of the Strait.”
