Donald Trump has announced a dramatic new move in the escalating confrontation with Iran, declaring that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open despite Tehran’s claims that passage is suspended. The U.S. president says Washington will seek 20% reimbursement on cargo shipped through the strategic waterway to cover security costs. Trump also suggested the United States could assume a dominant role in protecting maritime traffic, describing America as a potential “guardian angel” of the strait. The proposal could have major consequences for global trade, energy markets and inflation as tensions intensify around one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />#Trump #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #HormuzCrisis #USIran #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #OilPrices #GlobalTrade #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #USNews #WorldNews #Shipping<br /><br />~HT.410~PR.498~ED.194~VG.HM~
