Summary
Donald Trump has backed down on his previous commitment to instate US tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. ( Reuters ) "Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States," he said in a post on Truth Social. E Jean Carroll receives over $5M in damages from Trump. Carroll also won an $83.3 million verdict in a separate 2024 defamation trial against the president, which he is currently appealing.
Furthermore, Trump says FBI is ‘wasting their time’ investigating Lindsey Graham’s death. US President Donald Trump has reneged on his plan to charge a 20 per cent fee on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a day after saying he would introduce it. But on Tuesday evening he changed plans, declaring the Strait of Hormuz open to all shipping traffic except for Iran, which would be subjected to a "full blockade".
In addition, President Donald Trump’s proposal to implement a 20% tax on goods transiting the Strait of Hormuz was met with backroom pressure from the U.S.’s Gulf allies, contributing to the White House’s reversal just a day later. The payment, totaling $5,625,005.48, was transferred on July 9, according to a court filing. The court record, which populated on Tuesday, shows that the funds were disbursed to Carroll last Thursday.
Moreover, Darline Graham is set to take the oath of office on Tuesday afternoon.
