[Trump: Immediate Resumption of Blockade Against Iran, 20% Fee on Cargo Shipments] US President Trump: The Strait of Hormuz is open, and will remain open with or without Iran. We will resume the “blockade against Iran” operation, so named because it only prevents Iranian ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will use the strait fairly and openly. From now on, the United States will be known as the “Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz,” but as the guardian, and based on the principle of fairness, the United States will charge a 20% fee on all cargo shipments to compensate for all the costs required to provide security and guarantees for this turbulent region of the world. The relevant procedures and setup will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention!
