🚧Secretary of State Marco Rubio just made it crystal clear to Iran and the world: no country will be allowed to charge tolls or extortion fees on international waterways like the Strait of Hormuz. America will not tolerate radical regimes hijacking global trade routes or threatening our economy and allies with piracy disguised as policy.
For years weak Democrat leadership let Iran attack shipping, fund terrorism, and grow bolder while American interests suffered. They preferred appeasement and bad deals that only empowered our enemies. Those days of weakness and surrender are over under President Trump and his strong team.
This is America First diplomacy in action — restoring respect, protecting freedom of navigation, and refusing to bow to tyrants. Marco Rubio is delivering the strength and clarity our nation demands. Secure our interests and keep America dominant on the world stage.
