Trump proposes 20% toll on cargo through Strait of Hormuz
The proposal targets a key oil-shipping chokepoint that links global energy flows to U.S. and Israel-Iran tensions.
CNBC reports that Donald Trump has proposed imposing a 20% toll on cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and has called for restarting an Iran blockade.
