Trump: The U.S. May Impose Tolls for Passage Through the Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. may, in Washington’s interest, impose a toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz if the deal with Iran falls through. U.S. President Donald Trump issued this warning on Saturday, June 20, on the social media platform Truth Social.

Under such a scenario, the payment would serve as compensation for services provided by the United States—which Trump has called the “guardian angel” of the Middle East, according to Deutsche Welle.

At the same time, the White House chief emphasized that no fees would be charged during the 60-day period—while the truce with Iran is in effect. The arrangement will continue even after that period ends, provided that the agreements with Tehran are not violated, he added.

Earlier reports indicated that Iran announced yesterday that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, stating that this was in response to U.S. actions and Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
