A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete<br \/>\nHegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander<br \/>\n of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of<br \/>\nthem, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the<br \/>\nWorld, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except<br \/>\nfor Iran \u2014 and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious<br \/>\nleadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We<br \/>\nwill therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and<br \/>\nfrom Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo.<br \/>\nBased on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I<br \/>\nhave decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with<br \/>\nTrade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making<br \/>\ninto the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the<br \/>\nsame time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone<br \/>\nis aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States,<br \/>\nof any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that<br \/>\nNumber even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment<br \/>\npour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create<br \/>\nadditional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING<br \/>\nagain, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of<br \/>\nthousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most<br \/>\nimportantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your<br \/>\nattention to this matter.\u00a0President DONALD J. TRUMP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So the 20% toll announcement barely lasted a day and never went into effect. There was obviously some blowback but perhaps this was part of the strategy all along.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s less clear is if any traffic is going to be flowing through Hormuz with ships under attack from Iran. There was a modest bounce in stocks on this and oil has been giving back its earlier gains throughout the session.\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just now from Trump: Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military.
