Sec. Bessent: The Omani Ambassador Assured Me They Had No Plans for Tolling the Strait of Hormuz

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: “Again, I think the president wanted to punctuate freedom of navigation in the Strait. I had a call with the Omani ambassador this morning, and he assured me that there were no plans for tolling the Strait. As he said, our countries have had 200 years of good relations. He wants to have another 200 more. And I told him that this was a non-starter, and he did not want to risk either the Omani individuals or Omani financial institutions getting sanctioned.”
