Trump: Proposes joint US-Iran management of the Strait of Hormuz, threatens to impose a 50% tariff on countries supplying weapons to Iran

```

After the US and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire, Trump swiftly shifted the diplomatic narrative toward economic arrangements, releasing a series of major statements involving the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear issues, and tariffs.

According to CCTV News, on Wednesday morning, US President Trump said in an interview with ABC News that after his announcement of a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, the US may seek to establish a "joint project" with Iran to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz. When asked whether he would allow Tehran to charge transit fees for ships passing through this strategic waterway, Trump said: "We are considering taking a joint project approach. This is a way to ensure security—and it can also prevent many others from interfering." The President added, "This is a wonderful thing."

According to Xinhua News Agency, on April 8, local time, US President Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social," stating that any country supplying Iran with military weapons will face an "immediate 50% tariff" on "any and all goods" sold to the US, adding that the measure takes "immediate effect" with "no exclusions or exemptions."

On the nuclear issue, according to Xinhua, Trump said in another post on the same day that the US will work closely with Iran, and many terms in the ceasefire proposal containing a "15-point plan" put forward by the US have already been agreed upon. Iran will not conduct uranium enrichment activities, and the US will cooperate with Iran to excavate and remove all deeply buried nuclear "dust," and is currently discussing tariff reductions and lifting of sanctions with Iran.

This series of statements further boosts market expectations for a long-term agreement between the US and Iran. According to a previous article from Wallstreetcn, Trump told Sky News that most of the terms in the Iran proposal had been fully negotiated. Many elements in Iran’s ten-point proposal are "very good," and most of them have been "fully discussed." If this proposal turns out to be less than ideal, "we can easily get back to dealing with it again."

Media, citing a source familiar with the negotiations, warned that the US side is concerned Iran may use the ceasefire to buy time, and that this ceasefire is more of a "trust-building attempt," while there remains real uncertainty as to whether the agreement can be implemented.
