00:00Are there any concerns at all that the GCC are planning to meet with Oman and Iran to discuss this
00:05new, quote-unquote, mechanism that the Iranians have floated?
00:09No, I think they'll be against it.
00:10I think the whole world will be against any mechanism that charges money to use an international waterway.
00:14It's that simple.
00:15The president's already said it.
00:16That's not going to happen.
00:18When we mean open the straits, we mean open the straits free in international waterways.
00:23So we'll express that tomorrow.
00:25I am certain that not only will every country in the Gulf region be supportive, probably with the exception of
00:30Iran, but all the GCC members will be supportive, but the whole world will be supportive.
00:33I know of no country on the planet that supports tolling or a fee for the use of the straits.
00:39That's just not going to happen.
00:41The president has been abundantly clear.
