I've NEVER Seen A President Say This Before! Trump Goes HARD On IRGC.
"As a matter of fairness, we will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. The process and formation will begin immediately."
Donald Trump announced the US will charge a 20 percent fee on all cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz as reimbursement for securing the waterway, designating America as the official guardian of the strait. The policy represents a dramatic shift from decades of the US providing free security for global shipping lanes. Trump framed it as ending free rides for countries benefiting from American military protection.
