Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on any country that has business with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an international high-tension economic measure that will impose a 25% tax on all countries that have trade relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, while increasing protests and repression in Iran.
US President Donald Trump has declared that all countries that do "business" with Iran will be subject to a 25% tariff on trade with the US "immediately and definitively."
The statement has been made through a publication on the Truth Social social network, in which Trump has confirmed that the order will be implemented immediately and that he does not accept an appeal without specifying the legal basis or how the tariff mechanism will be implemented within the US legal framework.
The move comes in a context of growing tension with Tehran over massive demonstrations against the regime and massive repression which, according to various sources, has resulted in hundreds of deaths and mass arrests.
In addition, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has insisted that Trump does not rule out military action against Iran , but there is still room for diplomacy, as contacts with Iranian representatives remain to reduce tension.
Trump's economic warning could affect key trading partners in Iran, including China, Turkey, India, or the United Arab Emirates.
Governments and analysts continue to monitor the international reaction and the commercial and diplomatic implications of this announcement.
