> LOL! Trump announces plan to charge all countries a 20% toll on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz

Rubio previously promised this would never happen: https://apnews.com/live/trump-administr … 7ed3670000

Trump’s announcement comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Gulf leaders late last month and said the U.S. would not support Iran charging fees for ships to go through the Strait of Hormuz.

Rubio also said there was “zero support among the Gulf countries for any sort of toll or fees or anything that charges for the use of international waters. The president’s made it clear that’s not going to happen. It’s not going to be a part of this. It cannot be a part of this.”

It's pretty clear he meant that the US wont support any play where Iran does this.

Did the Ayatollah agree to this extravaganza?

Aside from Israel, the rest of the world just wants the U.S. to go home and stay home.  They don’t want or need protection.

I mean if no one else wanted to help and we have to provide the security, I guess it might be fair to charge a toll.  But the whole operation seems like idiocy int he first place.  What did we hope to achieve?  This only doubled the gas prices...

Nobody else wanted or needed help until Trump started his war.
