WASHINGTON, June 24 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran had assured Washington it is not seeking tolls, insurance fees or other charges from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, warning that negotiations between the two sides would end immediately if the information proved false.
"Iran has informed the U.S. that, despite troublemaking Fake News reporting to the contrary, there are 'NO TOLLS, NO INSURANCE COSTS, & NO OTHER CHARGES OF ANY KIND BEING SOUGHT OR RECEIVED BY IRAN ON SHIPS TRAVELING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ,'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social.
"If this is false information, negotiations would end, immediately!" Trump warned. ■
