Trump Scraps Hormuz Toll for Gulf Investments
President Trump withdrew his proposal to charge a 20% toll on cargo through the Strait of Hormuz, opting instead for trade and investment deals with Gulf states. This shift followed 'highly productive conversations' with Middle Eastern leaders. The US asserted its role as the 'Guardian of the Strait,' citing the military's role in ensuring oil flow, while also announcing a full blockade on Iranian shipping. The move was framed as rewarding Gulf nations with 'massive' investments into the US economy, which Trump claimed would boost jobs and manufacturing.
