Trump Calls for Immediate Opening of Strait of Hormuz Without Transit Fees

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a directive calling for the swift opening of the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that passage through the critical waterway must proceed without any transit fees in either direction.

Trump stated that ships currently detained in the strait as a result of an embargo set to be rescinded can begin their return journey. The removal of the blockade, according to Trump's statement, would enable maritime traffic to resume normal operations through one of the world's most strategically important shipping routes.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a vital corridor for global energy supplies and international commerce, making its accessibility a matter of significant geopolitical importance.
