The Last Word with Matt Cooper · The Last Word On The US: Trump Backs Down On Plans To Charge Fees In Strait Of Hormuz · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, he's got that quack Bill Pulte apparently claiming they found new evidence.

There may also be a twist, Will, in that there's been a lot of speculation that Maduro, the former Venezuelan president, is going to make a plea deal in New York.

And as part of that, he would say, oh yeah, Venezuela was involved in rigging voting machines.

You know, obviously, Fox News had to pay nearly $800 million for defaming one of the voting companies by saying that.

But I'm very sceptical about this and whether it'll go anywhere.

Yeah, it really is chaotic.

And I think it's been reported in the past hour thereabouts that this insane 20% fee on all cargo transiting the waterway, that that has now been abandoned.

And just to give you a clue about this, the insanity of this, remember, Trump is talking about putting protection money, slapping a 20% protection money on his own allies, on his allies in the Gulf.

There were about 3,000 ships a month that moved through the Strait of Hormuz

Their average cargo was about $150 million.

So if you were to take 20% of that, that is a $90 billion a month shakedown that Trump was proposing, again, on his allies, not on his enemies.

So it seems that that, in the last hour or so, has gone by the wayside.

But who knows where we'll be later tonight?

Who knows where he'll be tomorrow?

This is just absolute chaos.

Yeah, and I absolutely agree with what Carl just said there.

I think that the important thing to remember is that the price of oil has now gone up again by about 10%.

The talk of inflation and all kinds of things and job creation and the US economy is coming down the pipe with new information over the next couple of days.

But you've got these midterms in less than four months now.

And, you know, America does not want to be bogged down in a war that's costing us real money at home in terms of the price of gas, in terms of the price of goods.
