Trump Says Iran Deal Will Make Strait Permanently Toll‑Free

President Donald Trump said an agreement with Iran would make the Strait permanently toll‑free. He made the comment during a phone interview with The New York Times. Trump described the proposed arrangement as eliminating any tolls on the waterway. During the same call he praised the leaders of Russia and China. He also called Israel’s prime minister a “very difficult guy.” The remarks reflect Trump’s broader diplomatic stance toward those nations. No further details of the agreement were provided beyond the toll‑free claim. Observers will watch for any formal treaty or legislative action to confirm the proposal.
