Fox Guest: Trump Should Announce A 'Hormuz Transit Tariff'
I'll take things that are never going to happen for $500 Alex.
AEI fellow and Fox regular Marc Thiessen made an appearance on Bret Baier's show this Friday and was asked about what will happen with the Strait of Hormuz, and after claiming that Admiral Cooper has some secret plan that he hasn't executed yet that could immediately get the strait open, Thiessen tossed out this doozy as a suggestion for Trump:
BAIER: The Strait of Hormuz traffic, the latest Marc, is increasing but it's still being threatened in that transit. And the question is, will that change dramatically in coming days? And how does it change the economic picture for the U.S. and the world?
THIESSEN: 100 percent. I think, first of all, the president tweeted out today that he's going to open the Strait of Hormuz. So that's a good thing. Admiral Cooper has a plan that he could execute tomorrow if he's given the order to do it that would open up the Strait of Hormuz. There's no way that the Iranians can keep the strait closed if we decide to open it.
