Backs away from more fringe, rhetorical remarks on 20% fee
Remaining question is still how viable safe and normal volume passage is going to be in current stalemate
Trump's latest: Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, decided to replace the 20% Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Strait is open to all ships other than those coming from and to Iranian ports.
So that backs off the more 'fringe' elements of yesterday's broadside. How the current situation actually translates into danger-free, normal movement of shipping, and over what kind of time frame, is to be seen though. So in that sense it doesn't really resolve the current core worries.
