Donald Trump 'Any Fees on Strait of Hormuz is Unacceptable'

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said it would be "unacceptable" to him if any future deal with Iran included fees on shipping or maritime activities through the Strait of Hormuz. 

Speaking to reporters during a meeting with Mark Rutte, Trump said such a provision would be a "game changer." "Yeah, it would be unacceptable to me because we have numerous straits that if you did that for them you'd have to do it for other people. 

You have other straits, well I wouldn't allow it there either. Yeah, it would be a game changer,"



he said when asked whether he would block a final Iran deal if it included shipping fees.

Trump also claimed progress in negotiations with Iran and criticized Democrats over their stance on the conflict. "So we're doing great in our negotiations with Iran. Right in the middle of one of the key things which we're going to get anyway, we got.

We had four Republican Senators and all Democrats. You know Democrats, they want to lose the war because they're stupid. That's why we call them DUMocrats. Their policy is so bad," he said.
