Trump REJECTS Iranian tolls while pushing for Strait of Hormuz deal

R. YOU. MEANWHILE, THE U.S. AND IRAN. MAY BE ON THE VERGE OF AN. AGREEMENT TO OPEN THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ. RACHEL: THIS DEVELOPMENT COMES. AS THE U.S. RAMPS UP OPERATION. ECONOMIC FURY. GRIFF: THAT'S RIGHT, STEVE. HARRIGAN WITH ALL OF THE. DETAILS. GOOD MORNING, STEVE. >> GOOD MORNING, GRIFF. PRESIDENT TRUMUMP SAYS. NEGOTIATIONS ARE GOING WELL TO. REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. HE'S SAYING HE'S TAKING A. PERSONAL ROLE INTO THE. NEGOTIATIONS AND HE EXPECTS. NEWS ON THAT FRONT ANYTIME. SOON. SOME MILITARY ANALYSTS HAVE.

EXPRESSED CAUTION ABOUT WHAT. IRAN'S REAL INTENTIONS MIGHT. BE. >> THERE IS, I UNDERSTAND,D, SOE. CONCERN THAT IRAN IS TRYING TO. PLAY LOOSY WITH THE FOOTBALL. HERE BECAUSE THEIR REAL. OBJECTIVE IS TO DRAG THIS OUT. AS LONG AS THEY CAN INTO THE. MIDTERMS, BUT WHAT IT REALLY. COMES DOWN TO IS THE FACT THAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD INFLICT. TREMENDOUS DAMAGE ON IRAN IF HE. DECIDES TO. >> ONE POTENTIAL STICKING POINT. IN ANY DEAL WOULD BE THE LEVEL. OF CONTROL IRAN WOULD HAVE OVER.

SHIPS THAT PASS THROUGH THE. STRAIT. WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO TAX THEM, ISSUE FEES OF ANY KIND? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE U.S. HAS REJECTED NOT ONLY DUE TO. MILITARY FORCE, BUT TO THE. NAVAL BLOCK KID ALREADY IN. PLACE. AND A NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS.
