多名知情人士告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），唐纳德·特朗普总统计划对霍尔木兹海峡征收通行费的决定震惊了海湾盟友以及他的不少助手，随即引发国际社会争相劝说他撤回这一要求。
尽管特朗普的顾问数月来一直警告他不要推行这一计划，担心此举会破坏美国自身的战争目标，同时会让伊朗所谓的海峡收费计划合法化——而美国政府此前多次将伊朗的这一计划定性为非法，但特朗普还是在周一突然宣布了这一决定。
就在他意识到围绕海峡的紧张升级，美国已重新全面卷入战争之际，沮丧的特朗普还是执意推进了计划。
“从现在起，美国将被称为‘霍尔木兹海峡守护者’，”他周一上午在Truth Social平台上写道，并誓言对所有通过该海峡的货物征收20%的通行费。
这一出人意料的指令引发了美国政府内部和整个中东地区的24小时紧急应对，各方试图厘清特朗普似乎临时想出的这项提案的具体细节。尽管他在周二收回了该计划，但这一事件进一步凸显了特朗普外交政策随心所欲、讲求交易的本质，即便在一场他显然不知如何结束的长期战争期间亦是如此。
周一在白宫内部，助手们匆忙着手建立这一前所未有的收费系统的后勤工作，包括确定由谁支付费用以及如何收取。许多官员和外部分析师最初认为运费将由船运公司承担，但周一晚些时候特朗普的另一项声明让这项工作变得更加复杂：他表示将由美国的海湾盟友代为支付。
与此同时，这些海湾盟友的领导人正疯狂地试图及时与特朗普通电话，彻底劝说他放弃这一想法。
到周二上午，来自沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林和卡塔尔等国的密集游说取得了成功。特朗普宣布，海湾国家承诺向美国投入新的、数额未明确的资金，以此替代美国收取通行费。
海湾国家此前已承诺向美国投资数万亿美元，但目前尚不清楚其中有多少会在未来几年实际到位。

“我昨天公布了这个计划，我当时觉得很不错，”特朗普周二谈及这项前所未有的收费计划时说道，“不同国家的人、不同的国家，还有国王和埃米尔们都给我打了电话，就是我们都认识、都爱戴的那些人。坦白说，他们一直都是我们非常重要的伙伴。他们说，我们希望换一种方式来解决这个问题。”
一名白宫官员呼应了特朗普的公开表态，称鉴于伊朗违反了维持海峡畅通的协议，总统“始终保留所有选项，他明智地认定美国应该为多年来保护途经该水道的船只获得补偿。最终，我们的海湾盟友提出向美国进行投资，总统认为这一方案更为可取。”
自上周美国重新卷入积极冲突以来，特朗普一直声称战争实际上已经胜利，只需再发动一场激烈但短暂的轰炸行动就能迫使伊朗屈服。与此同时，他坚称霍尔木兹海峡的通行仍然自由且开放。
但到目前为止，这些说法与现实情况相悖，包括伊朗仍有能力对任何试图穿越海峡的船只构成足够威胁。受此影响，这条关键水道的航运量大幅下降，油价飙升至上月美伊和平协议达成前从未有过的水平。
特朗普曾在战争期间的几次紧张节点威胁对海峡征收通行费，原因是他对这条航运路线的重要性感到不满，他抱怨尽管美国自身并不依赖该海峡获取石油，但却不得不独自负责保障其安全。
今年4月，他曾暗示美国应该收取费用，因为美国在战争中“获胜了”，后来又提出与伊朗成立“合资企业”以控制海峡的想法。最近，他还威胁如果伊朗未能达成永久和平协议，就将征收通行费，并称这是对战争成本的“补偿”。
但据知情人士透露，这些提议一直遭到特朗普顾问的持续反对。他们辩称，新的限制只会推高石油和天然气价格，加剧共和党在11月中期选举前面临的政治压力，而此次选举的结果预计本就将取决于民众对经济负担的担忧。
他们警告称，更迫在眉睫的麻烦是，这将与美国政府此前提出的反对任何国家对水道征收费用的原则相悖。
“任何国家都不得对国际水道征收通行费或费用，这是现行国际法的规定，”美国国务卿马可·卢比奥在6月下旬签署美国加入一份反对“对霍尔木兹海峡征收任何通行费、费用或试图实施控制”的联合声明前说道，“全世界的国际水道都是如此，我们也希望这里能保持这样的规则。”
伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉克奇很快就抓住了特朗普周一的言论，印证了这些担忧，他表示：“总统完全正确。任何为商业船只通过霍尔木兹海峡提供安全保障的人，都应该为这项服务获得补偿。”
“20%的比例当然太高了。我们会公平对待的，”他最后说道。
Inside the 24-hour sprint to convince Trump to drop his plans to toll Strait of Hormuz
2026-07-14T20:41:44.144Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/14/politics/trump-toll-strait-of-hormuz
President Donald Trump shocked Gulf allies and many of his own aides with his plan to impose a toll on the Strait of Hormuz, touching off an international scramble to convince him to reverse course on his demand, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
The abrupt announcement on Monday came despite months of warnings from Trump’s own advisers not to pursue the idea, for fear it would undermine the US’ own war aims — as well as validate Iran’s purported plans to charge fees in the strait, which the administration repeatedly characterized as illegal.
But as he surveyed the intensifying struggle over the strait that had drawn the US back into full-fledged war, a frustrated Trump pressed ahead anyway.
“The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’” he wrote on Truth Social Monday morning, vowing to charge a 20% toll on all cargo shipped through the strait.
The surprise directive sparked a 24-hour sprint within the administration and across the Middle East to decode the specifics of a proposal that Trump had seemingly come up with on the spot. And while he reversed his plans on Tuesday, the episode further underscored the freewheeling, transactional nature of Trump’s approach to foreign policy, even in the midst of a prolonged war that he has no clear idea how to bring to an end.
Inside the White House on Monday, aides rushed to flesh out the logistics for creating such an unprecedented tolling system, including determining who would pay the fees and how they would be collected. Many officials and outside analysts initially assumed shippers would foot the bill, but the effort was further complicated by another Trump declaration later on Monday that US allies in the Gulf would be paying instead.
Those same Gulf allies’ leaders, meanwhile, were working frantically to get Trump on the phone in time to talk him out of the idea altogether.
By Tuesday morning, the flurry of appeals from nations — including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar — had succeeded. Instead of the US collecting tolls, Trump announced that the countries had pledged to pour new, undefined sums into US investments.
The Gulf nations have already committed to invest trillions of dollars into the US, though it remains unclear how much of that they will actually spend over the next several years.

“I put it out yesterday, I thought it was good,” Trump said Tuesday of his unprecedented tolling plan. “I was called by different people, different countries, kings and emirs, and all of the people that we all know and we all love. And they’ve been, frankly, they’ve been very strong partners. And they said we’d love to do it a different way.”
A White House official echoed Trump’s public remarks, saying that given Iran’s violations of the agreement to keep the strait open, the president “has always kept all options on the table, and he wisely determined that the United States should be reimbursed for our many years of protecting ships transiting this waterway. Ultimately, our Gulf allies offered to provide investments into the United States, which the President found preferable.”
Since returning the US to active conflict last week, Trump has asserted that the war is effectively won and that another intense-but-short bombing campaign is all it will take to bring Iran to heel. In the meantime, he’s insisted that access to the Strait of Hormuz remains free and open.
But those claims have so far been contradicted by the reality on the ground, including Iran’s continued ability to sufficiently threaten any vessels that attempt to traverse the strait. Shipping traffic through the key waterway has dropped sharply as a result, sending oil prices soaring to levels not reached since before the US and Iran’s peace agreement last month.
Trump had threatened to impose a toll on the strait at previous flashpoints in the war, amid frustration with the outsized importance of a shipping route that he’s complained about having to secure alone despite the US itself not relying on it for oil.
In April, he suggested the US should charge fees because “we’re the winner” in the war, only to later float the concept of a “joint venture” with Iran to control the strait. More recently, he threatened to establish tolls if Iran failed to reach a permanent peace deal, characterizing it as “reimbursement” for the costs of the war.
Yet those suggestions had prompted consistent pushback from Trump’s advisers, people familiar with the discussions said. They argued that new restrictions would only push oil and gas prices higher, adding to the political pressure on Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections, which are already expected to hinge on affordability concerns.
Perhaps more immediately troublesome, they warned, it would contradict principles that the administration had laid out opposing the concept of any country imposing fees on a waterway.
“No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. That’s existing international law,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in late June, just before signing the US on to a joint statement rejecting “any tolls, fees or attempts to assert control” over the Strait of Hormuz. “That’s the way it is in international waterways all over the world, and that’s the way we expect it’ll be here.”
Confirming those fears, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was quick to seize on Trump’s comments Monday, saying: “POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.”
“20% is of course too much. We will be fair,” he concluded.
