Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be free of tolls, presenting the move as part of efforts surrounding an upcoming peace deal. Multiple outlets report that Trump makes the claim while looking ahead to the signing of the agreement, framing it as assurance that shipping routes through the strategic waterway would not be subject to charges. The Strait of Hormuz is a key maritime chokepoint linking the Persian Gulf with the open ocean, and any policy affecting passage can have potential implications for international trade and regional security. According to the reports, Trump’s statement emphasizes that no tolls would be imposed. The coverage does not provide additional details in the supplied summaries about how the commitment would be implemented, whether any specific countries or entities are responsible for enforcing it, or what terms are contained in the peace deal itself. The articles are aligned in attributing the “toll free” assertion to Trump and in tying it to the timing of the peace agreement signing.
