What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

An agreement was announced to open the Strait of Hormuz, an event that impacted oil prices and involved Mobil. Following a period of disruption, a sharp slowdown in the Strait was noted, with only six ships passing after the 15th. Earlier, Donald Trump had walked back a plan to charge a 20 percent fee on cargo shipped through the Strait, replacing it with proposed trade and investment agreements with Persian Gulf states.
