US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz if a final deal with Iran isn’t reached, claiming the fees would be “for services rendered as the Guardian Angel” to the Middle East, APA reports.
“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,” he said in a Saturday post on Truth Social.
He added the tolls would be “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.”
