The US will be reimbursed 20% of whatever it costs to protect ships? That doesn’t seem like an awesome deal for the US
Read it again. 20 percent of all cargo shipped.
Yes, so this ship is full of debt paperwork and manure, we’d like your 20% of the negative 300 million in value and here’s your manure.
But it’s a reimbursement and mentions the types of services it covers, so is the 20% value the cap on the reimbursement requirement?
You are expecting too much from Trump. His pattern is to proclaim some new policy with shaky justification and no prior analysis. At best, his thought pattern is, “20% sounds like a good number.” Then he lets the rest of his administration try to define something of substance around his public statements, hoping that he doesn’t contradict their attempts in the coming days.
