US President Donald Trump's proposal to charge a 20% fee for commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, announced Monday on Truth Social, prompted immediate concern from Gulf State leaders and White House aides. According to a CNN report, allies including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar contacted Trump to dissuade him, while advisors warned the fees could undermine US security goals and validate Iranian aggression. Trump stated the fee was "necessary to do the job of providing safety and security” in the waterway. The announcement led to a scramble within the White House to outline logistics for the toll system. Trump reversed his decision the following day, opting instead for US-Gulf State investment deals.
