Urgent from Trump: The Strait of Hormuz is open—and will stay open again, with Iran or without Iran; We are restarting the “Iranian maritime blockade.” We call it Iranian because it only stops Iranian ships and their customers. Other countries can use the strait completely freely and fairly. From now on, the United States will be known as the “guardian of the Strait of Hormuz.” But to make it fair, for all the security and safety costs of this turbulent region, we charge a 20% share of the value of all cargoes that pass through the strait as our fee. This will start right now.
