Woofun AI reports that President Trump remains "very serious" about implementing a 20% toll on goods transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a proposal he has pursued for months. Despite previous hesitation and opposition from within his inner circle, the White House official stated that Trump has reaffirmed this as a "gut decision."

The mechanism for enforcing the fee alongside potential blockade measures remains undefined, and it is uncertain whether the U.S. has engaged Gulf nations regarding the initiative. According to the official, specific operational details are still being finalized.
