US President Donald Trump threatens to impose US tolls in the Strait of Hormuz if a final deal with Iran isn’t reached in 60 days.
Trump, spending the weekend at Camp David, underscores that the initial agreement to end the war with Iran calls for toll-free travel through the vital waterway for 60 days.
He adds: “there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed.”
Trump says the money would be for “services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs.”

There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DJT

Uh oh
Trump must be just as weary of reading the trolls on this forum as many of us are.
Trump also said back in March: “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
Nobody is making you stay here.

Trump often makes statements that get “clarified” or reversed later. Iran may not charge “tolls,” but they can certainly apply other fees for safe passage.
