Trump floats US tolls for Hormuz as ceasefire talks begin

Trump says there will be no tolls through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days during the ceasefire with Iran, but he also suggests the United States could impose tolls afterward. The ceasefire memorandum is meant to kick off negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and does not permanently ban tolls. Iran has claimed the strait could be closed or tolled as a sovereignty issue, while CENTCOM says traffic continues. The Hormuz chokepoint remains a global energy lifeline, and follow-up talks involving mediators in Switzerland are planned, with U.S. officials attending. The deal is a temporary arrangement, not a final settlement, leaving room for future toll-related disputes and negotiations.
