#The Art of the Raw DealAn article I saw on the wire this morning showed Trump and Hegseth boasting about what a big "win" they had. They claim Iran will turn over all it's uranium, never enrich, never build or have missiles, never built or have drones. The missile and drone ban came up before, and was a total no-go for Iran.
But here was the item that had me laffing.
Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tolls
President Trump on Wednesday said he is considering the formation of a “joint venture” with Iran to set up tolls in the Strait of Hormuz after the Trump administration and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal.
ABC News’s Jonathan Karl asked Trump if he approved of Iran’s plan to charge vessels a fee for passing through the strait — a key channel through which roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil is transported.
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture,” the president told Karl, who shared Trump’s response on social platform X. “It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people. It’s a beautiful thing.”https://thehill.com/policy/international/5821343-t...Trump the Conqueror reminds me of a cartoon I saw a while back: flock of "JCs" at a conference table saying "people hate our greed. how can we monetize that?"
