## Resource

Trump shocks the world by announcing a 20% toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz—calling the U.S. the “Guardian” of the waterway—only to backtrack after Gulf allies scramble to stop it, ultimately pivoting to a deal where they pledge new U.S. investments instead. Amid chaos, oil prices spike and shipping slows, raising questions about his shifting foreign policy and whether the war is truly won.
