📌 标题:Trump offers US protection in the Strait of Hormuz for a 20% fee. How would that work?Since the US-Israeli war with Iran broke out, shipping companies have been calling for greater protection for vessels to safely cross through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route that is controlled by Iran. President Donald Trump now says the United States can provide that — but in exchange for a 20% fee on cargo moving through the waterway.

Since the US-Israeli war with Iran broke out, shipping companies have beencalling for greater protectionfor vessels to safely cross through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route that is controlled by Iran. President Donald Trumpnow saysthe United States can provide that — but in exchange for a 20% fee on cargo moving through the waterway.“The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday.His proposal, however, raises several questions of legality and feasibility.Who would foot the bill?First and foremost, people need to know what it would cost to evaluate whether they want to use the service, John McCown, a senior fellow at the Center for Maritime Strategy, told CNN. From Trump’s post, it’s unclear how the fee would be calculated.“Is it 20% of what our cost on the blockade is, somehow divided by the number of ships?” McCown questioned. Other possibilities include 20% of the costs the US Navy incurs to escort cargo or a 20% charge on the value of the goods being transported.The White House did not respond to CNN’s request for further details.In any event, the fee will likely be high enough that no party is willing to pay it, McCown said.As a general rule of thumb, shippers pay carriers 2%-3% of the value of their goods in fees, according to McCown, former CEO of shipping logistics company Trailer Bridge. A fee around 10 times the size would likely be entirely unaffordable to shippers, he said.Insurers may get the final say, though, since they may refuse to cover boats transiting the Strait of Hormuz if they deem the security risks are too high, regardless of whether owners are willing to pay for US protection.Related articleThe Lutine Bell hangs in the c
