U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday evening that effective immediately, any country that does business with the Iranian regime will be subject to a 25% tariff “on any and all business being done with the United States of America.”
“This order is final and conclusive,” Trump said.
Nikki Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina governor, wrote that it was a “strong move by President Trump.”
“I don’t think the tariff is the end of the U.S. response to Iran’s regime,” stated Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran. “It’s the beginning. The NSC meeting tomorrow is key.”
