MASSIVE investments... hmmm... I wonder what that means and how it will personally benefit #trump 🤔 And him threatening 20% fees for passage through the #StraitOfHormuz and then reneging the next day after the #GulfStates supposedly offered him something (investments) reminds me of how he has threatened companies, universities, etc. with lawsuits, funding decreases, etc. only to turn around and "settle" with them when they gave him what he wanted. #USpol #MiddleEast #Iran #IranWar #MyThoughts

#TACO #Trump is retreating from his statement that the #US would charge hefty #fees on ships traversing the #StraitOfHormuz, & his call for #reimbursement from #GulfStates for military protection. In a long rant on Truth Social, he wrote instead of the fee of 20% of the value of a ship’s cargo, he had “decided to replace” it with investment & trade deals with the affected countries [IOW, someone told him he couldn’t charge ships tolls on #InternationalWaters]. #law
