Trump has caused a precedent to be set that could upend trade worldwide. Freedom of navigation is dead and other straits like Malacca, Bosporous, and Gibraltar could end up tolled by the adjacent countries because of this.

This is all due to the trump administration. Thanks for nothing, jerks.

The Bosporus already has tolls. I’m actually surprised that Hormuz doesn’t… probably the result of those countries having to take a some shit deal imposed by the west… but I’m just hazarding a guess.
