about. We're talking about this. There are some in the Iranian regime that are going

around saying that they want to make the Strait of Hormuz tolling thing, they want to make

it permanent. That's unacceptable. The whole world should be outraged by it. We're impacted

by it a little bit, but the rest of the world is impacted by it a lot more, including many

of the countries represented today here at the G7. And so if those countries are deeply

impacted by it, all we've said is, you guys need to do something about it. We'll help

you, but you guys are going to need to be ready to do something about it, because when

this conflict and when this operation ends, if the Iranians decide, well now we control

the Strait of Hormuz, and you can only go through here if you pay us, and if we allow

you to, that's, not only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable.

And that can't be allowed to exist. And so what we've said is that the countries that

are most impacted by that should be willing to do something about it, and we'll help them.
