June 20 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. President Donald Trump posted ⁠on Saturday that no toll ‌will be charged for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during or after ​the 60-day interim ceasefire ⁠with Iran — ⁠unless the U.S. imposes one should peace ⁠talks ‌fail.

"There will be NO TOLLS in the ⁠Hormuz Strait for 60 days during ​the ‌Cease Fire Period, and there will ⁠be ​NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they ⁠are imposed by and ​for the United States of America, should the deal not be ⁠completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for ​purposes of both ⁠past, present, and future reimbursement of ​costs," Trump wrote ‌in a post on ​Truth Social.
