In a post on Truth Social, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that no charges will be imposed for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz during a 60‑day ceasefire period, and that no fees will be applied after the ceasefire ends unless a final agreement is not reached. He said any future charges would be imposed by the United States as compensation for its role as a "guardian angel" to Middle‑East countries, covering past, present and future costs.
