Trump backs away from plan to charge fees in the Strait of Hormuz as attacks intensify

TRUMP: I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHARGE A FEE FOR THE STRAIT TRUMP: GULF STATES ARE GOING TO INVEST IN U.S. AND I THINK THAT'S BETTER TRUMP ON IRAN SANCTIONS WAIVER: NO REGRETS TRUMP: GAVE IRAN A CHANCE BY LIFTING BLOCKADE BEFORE TRUMP SUGGESTS RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL MAY INCLUDE IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH.

Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran — and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP *TRUMP: STRAIT OF HORMUZ OPEN TO ALL SHIP TRAFFIC EXCEPT IRAN FULL BLOCKADE ON SHIPS TO OR FROM IRANIAN PORTS OR CARRYING IRANIAN CARGO REPLACING 20% US REIMBURSEMENT FEE WITH GULF STATE TRADE AND INVESTMENT DEALS IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON $CL
