President Donald Trump raged on Thursday at reports that Iran is charging tolls to ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump's comments came at a time when Iran and the U.S. have agreed to a two-week ceasefire as they discuss ending the war. Multiple outlets have reported that one of the 10 points in Iran's proposed deal is the ability to charge up to $2 million per ship in tolls to fund its rebuilding efforts.
Trump addressed those reports in a Truth Social post on Thursday.
"There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!" Trump wrote.
