Trump Threatens Countries Engaging in Trade with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Washington may impose additional tariffs on countries that continue to trade with Iran. This was reported by Reuters.

The executive order signed by the president does not specify the exact rate of the tariffs, but a potential example of a 25 percent rate is mentioned. According to the document, the restrictions could apply to imports from any country that directly or indirectly purchases goods or services from Iran.

According to Reuters, the new decision has been made amidst ongoing negotiations between U.S. and Iranian representatives in Oman.
