President Trump said Tuesday he changed his mind on charging 20% Strait of Hormuz cargo fees after many countries called him.
"I was called by different people, different countries, kings and emirs,” Trump said shortly after announcing the fee reversal. “And they’ve said, 'We'd love to do it a different way. We'd love to invest in the United States with billions and billions of dollars.'"
Trump continued, ”I like that actually because I don't think anybody should be able to charge a fee for the strait or for any other strait.”
