President Trump has notified Congress that fighting has resumed, effectively collapsing a cease-fire. This comes after several days of strikes. The administration announced the reinstatement of shipping fees, which they had previously declared illegal.

This move signals a significant escalation and a departure from the recent de-escalation efforts. The decision to restart the blockade and impose tolls is expected to have immediate and far-reaching consequences for regional trade and stability.

Details regarding the specific nature of the renewed fighting and the exact implementation of the new tolls are still emerging. The administration's reversal on the legality of these fees marks a critical turning point in the ongoing situation.
