President Donald Trump, on June 20, threatened that the United States could impose a new toll on maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz if a long-term peace deal isn’t reached with Iran within the next two months.
“There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
