President Trump: There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!
Analysis: This statement exhibits a high degree of megalomania and detachment from international maritime law. By framing the United States as a ‘Guardian Angel’ entitled to collect tolls for ‘services rendered’ in a strategic international waterway, Trump effectively redefines the U.S. military presence as a private security venture. The claim is absurd because the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway governed by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which prohibits the unilateral imposition of tolls by any single nation, regardless of their self-proclaimed status as a regional protector. Furthermore, the logic of retroactive reimbursement for ‘past, present, and future’ costs suggests a transactional approach to geopolitics that ignores sovereign rights and established diplomatic norms.
