Donald Trump changes plans for the Strait of Hormuz
192
Donald Trump changes his mind. He wanted a fee of 20 percent. Ships had to pay this fee. This is in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a sea route for oil. Now there is no fee. Trump talked to leaders in the Middle East. These states invest much money in the USA. The money builds new factories. It creates new jobs.
The sea route stays open for most ships. Only ships from Iran cannot pass. The USA stops all goods from Iran. This is a blockade. Trump says: Iran is violent. He wants to stop Iran from building Atom-Waffen. Experts for ships are worried. They fear other countries will ask for fees. This makes goods more expensive worldwide.
There is still violence in the region. The USA attacked targets in Iran. They hit harbor towns like Bushehr and Bandar Abbas. Iran fights against the attacks. Iranian rockets hit two oil ships. One sailor died. There were also explosions in Kuwait. The army stopped attacks from the air. Trump met with the leader from Iraq. His name is Ali al-Zaidi. They want to do more business.
