President Donald Trump is âvery seriousâ about his plan to impose a 20% toll on cargo transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a White House official told Semafor, asserting that itâs a plan heâs wanted to move forward with for months.
The president has long flirted with the idea of charging a toll, wondering back in April âwhy shouldnâtâ his administration do so and threatening to impose fees in June if a deal with Iran was not completed within a 60-day period.
