Trump Proposes 20% Fee for US Protection in Strait of Hormuz

In light of the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, President Donald Trump has proposed that the United States will offer protection to vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz, but at a cost of 20% on the value of cargo. This proposal raises significant questions regarding its legality and practicality, as shipping companies typically pay only 2-3% in fees.

The legality of the fee is also in question, as international law grants vessels free passage through this vital waterway, complicating the proposal's implementation.
