Rubio stressed there would be “no fees, and free circulation” through the key shipping route, according to one interpretation of his intervention.
But a second proposal, reported by Reuters, has emerged in discussions between Pakistan and regional powers; a Pakistani source, said the new plan was shared with the White House ahead of the talks on Sunday.

Watch for potential reactions in WTI crude and broader commodity markets as developments unfold.
