Trump Considers 20% Fee for Goods Passing Through Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump is seriously considering imposing a 20-percent fee on goods passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a White House official told the publication Semafor. According to the official, Trump has been pushing this idea for several months. "He's always wanted this, but people tried to talk him out of it. This was his instinctive decision, and it seems he's returned to it," the source said. Details on the fee collection mechanism remain unclear, including whether Gulf countries have been consulted on the matter.
