Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com 

 

So Trump has now 'walked back' his 20% "security toll' on cargo ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz after rightfully being called to task for basically doing what Iran actually tried to do. But it's a 'walk back' that is not quite what it seems to be as the 20% fee stays as is, but said monies will now be funneled into what Trump calls "massive" trade and investment deals made directly with the United States by various Gulf States. 

So now we've gone from what are already in place small trade deals with the Gulf  States...states that still don't really like us very much...to "massive" deals with them, while there still is NO mention of those monies going in any way, shape, or form directly to the Iranian people who need said monies to rebuild their lives way more than we and the wealthy Arab nations need bigger trade deals. And this leads me to again say, "Houston, we still do have a problem."
