US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was scrapping a planned levy on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz a day after he announced it, and replacing the fee with trade deals with Gulf allies.

“I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
