Trump threatens Iran with charging fees for the Strait of Hormuz as talks stall
Most recently, Trump warned Iran not to under any circumstances collect fees for tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. If Tehran is introducing such fees, it should, according to the American president, stop immediately. This call comes at a time when tanker traffic through the critical strait remains largely frozen.

Oil prices rose on Friday due to the continuing paralysis of trade in the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts warn that within a maximum of two weeks, when the ceasefire deadline expires, the situation will change significantly, and all key "players" will realize how Trump tried to fool the international community. ekonomika.sme.sk ↗

The rapid rise in energy and food prices is directly linked to geopolitical tension in the Middle East and the war against Iran. European lawmakers blame Trump for rising food prices and describe his policy as egotistical. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sharply criticized both Trump and Putin, as their actions are driving up energy prices for Britons. Starmer's comment "I've had enough" reflects the growing frustration of European leaders with American policy. hnonline.sk ↗
