Trump: The Strait of Hormuz Needs to Remain Free, ‘I Don’t Like the Idea of a Fee’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, I guess you could define it any way you want, but certainly we’re beating them up really badly. They have to be beat up. We’re hitting them very, very hard. We’re hitting every single thing that they have along the shore, along the waterfront. You know, if you look at the Strait of Hormuz, it’s now — we’re looking, we’re finding it hard to find where they have anything. We have to stop it. We have to keep it open. I was going to charge a fee, but instead they’d rather — they spend a lot of money in the United States, which frankly, is better because I don’t like the idea of a fee. It’s got to remain free because, otherwise, others will do the same thing. But I think we’ve made tremendous progress.”
