Trump says the U.S. wants the Strait of Hormuz to be free and toll-free When asked about Iran's proposal to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said: 'We are reviewing this proposal.' 'As you know, we have achieved complete control over the Strait of Hormuz through blockades. The blockade has been 100% effective. No one can get through it; it's like a steel wall,' the U.S. President told reporters. Meanwhile, Iran's Quds Force Navy stated that 31 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours. 'We want it to be free, and we don't want tolls. It's international; it's an international waterway,' Trump said during a press conference at the White House when discussing the strait.
