With negotiations in Switzerland set to begin tomorrow, Sunday in Switzerland between the diplomatic delegations of the U.S. and Iran, Donald Trump has stated that tolls will never be imposed on the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, Centcom, the military unit of the U.S. in the Middle East, maintains that 55 ships have already transited the Strait of Hormuz today, in an attempt to refute the Revolutionary Guards’ claim that they are closing the Strait to traffic.
Just a few hours before negotiations were set to begin in Switzerland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that “no tolls will be imposed after the 60-day period ends,” “unless they are imposed by and on behalf of the United States of America,” as he specifically stated.
“NO tolls will be imposed in the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days during the ceasefire period, and NO TOLL will be imposed after the 60-day period ends, unless they are imposed by and on behalf of the United States of America, in the event that the agreement is not finalized, for services provided as “Guardian Angel” to the countries of the Middle East, with the aim of compensating for past, present, and future expenses,” Donald Trump stated emphatically.
