Why a Hormuz Toll Makes Economic Sense

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for April 10. The White House is racing to contain Israel’s deadly war in Lebanon ahead of peace talks with Iran this weekend. At the centre of negotiations is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a possible toll on ships passing through the waterway. WSJ correspondent Tom Fairless explains why Iran and the U.S. might be able to agree on this - and the global consequences such a toll would have. Plus, we look at why MAGA is so invested in this weekend’s election in Hungary. And why an innocent-sounding - yet notorious - flying fish, is threatening the Great Lakes. Daniel Bach hosts.
