Rubio’s Warning From Just Three Weeks Ago Comes Back to Bite Him

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s statement from just last month, declaring that no country can charge tolls through the Strait of Hormuz, appears to directly contradict a new plan announced by his boss.

President Donald Trump said Monday that instead of returning the vital shipping passage to a toll-free status, as it was before Trump launched his war with Iran on Feb. 28, he has decided to start charging a toll.
