Trump retreat over Hormuz tolls suggests he is struggling to end Iran war

Donald Trump proposed a 20% toll for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, then abandoned the idea the next day, offering instead trade deals with Gulf allies. The reversal comes after four months of conflict with Iran, despite a memorandum of understanding for a temporary ceasefire. Experts believe the war of attrition may continue. Iran countered by stepping up attacks on US allies.
