Former U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed implementing a 20% toll on all cargo vessels navigating through the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints, particularly for global oil transit. This proposal aims to leverage the U.S. naval security presence in the region to offset military defense costs. Analysts and maritime experts are currently evaluating the potential economic impacts and international legal challenges of such a measure on global trade.

Can we have a refund ? This president is broken.
Trump could use the money to pay the Iranian tolls and keep the profit.
They gonna give the 20% they collect to Iran in a new deal he's gonna announce. 😂 Idiot gets dumber with every day that passes.
Trump: we will not allow tolls on the Strait
Trump: we will have a toll on the Strait
WTF 🤡
– Impeach Trump
– Stop the War
– Stop Climate Change

So, the Don is taking the US Mafia into the protection racket.
Can’t blame him
When empires collapse they are headed by stupid demented irrational leaders and trump is a good example.
Bibi approves of this message 👍🏾👍🏾
Trump lost the abusive tarrifs on the world so has an idiot he thinks he can bribe the Whole world again
America needs its own Count Binface.
another trump scam.
IRAN’s in head 24/7. He’s dying inside and by the looks of it outside too.
America is in big trouble. This is despite in one or another, most of Europe regimes , Middle Eastern regime , are assisting them
America lost
The great age of American Piracy has begun !!! 😅😅😅
Is war will be near you in the EU and UK…. Very soon
Well not keep it in the Persian Gulf
🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑
Macron was so quick to open his big nasty mouth on Iran's tolls, let's hear what he has to say on Trump's plans 🙄🙄🙄🙄
So he wants to profit personally
Yet more BBC Trump Says Deluded News! How much more bias for their US Imperial Masters can the BBC be??? 🤮
Haha this is great! Now ships are gonna happily pay Iranian tolls because they’ll be cheap in comparison
Why is the USA in the backyard of other nations? 🌍 🌏
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps / UK Division – has just been created. Congratulations Keir.
So we started a war to prevent iran taxing ships… so we could tax ships… The hell?
U.K. gov just announced the irgc is a terrorist regime today and it’s illegal to promote them. Erm, does the government not watch the news?
Standard charge is 20% or two cruise missiles per passage!
Bull$hit. Trump does not want to impose 20% tolls (oil tax revenue). That's stupid bull$hit.
Citing social media posts as facts – come on people, be a little more proffessional.
The Dude wants to fund his war from the straight of Hormuz. What recklessness is this?
The Sopranos have nothing on the Trump crime family 😂
Shipping firms should just go with the Iranian route it'll be cheaper in comparison to Trumps Extortionate rates.😂😂😂😂😂
Trump is the very end of a Bell.
Mafia protection rackets.
USA militaire is following Donald…….why ?
Is Donald the soul of USA ?
Your leader is an absolute idiot who continues to punish his allies. What a clown.
Trumpland: Cosa Nostra with carriers.
You mean the FIFA peace award was meaningless bollux?
Trump said this will only last 4 weeks. It is now week 19.
The last little Mickey Mouse attempt at a blockade was just a high tech fleet doing occasional maritime piracy. This will be just as pathetic. Fuel prices will climb steadily as much of the world has burnt through reserves.
Basically, the United States has become a pirate and a bandit state copy paste Israel . I have no doubt that, if Trump wins a war against Iran, Greenland will be next. In the future, an even more radical president may come to power and attempt to seize the water resources of Western European countries. The only solution is for every Western European country to possess its own nuclear deterrent.
The Clown has lost it yet again.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shameless Idiot orange orangutan.
