Trump states no tolls on Strait of Hormuz unless imposed by the United States.
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that no tolls will be charged for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during a 60-day ceasefire period or after, unless the US imposes them. The statement comes amid tensions over a US-Iran ceasefire memorandum signed on June 17, 2026, with Iran claiming the strait closed due to US breaches while CENTCOM denies the closure.
