Iran would be imposing the toll not Trump. He just doesn't want to look bad if they do. So he's trying to say it was his idea
What country would pay a toll for passage through international waters. You've got to be major league pussies to let a rouge country get away with that. The US will navigate the Straits all they want without tolls. We don't put up with a rouge country trying to collect money for international waters. Only a pussy country would.
