Trump: Additional 25% Tariffs on Any Country Trading with Iran

Donald Trump announced on Monday (January 12th) via Truth Social that any country engaging in trade with Iran will face an additional 25% tariff from the US, calling the decision “final” and stating it is “effective immediately”. The move comes amid ongoing protests in Iran and escalating tensions in the region. Trump is also considering further measures, including military options, to pressure Tehran. The announcement threatens the trade truce with China, the largest buyer of Iranian oil, and could be affected by the upcoming US Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Trump’s tariffs. Trump has openly supported the protesters in Iran and warned of a harsh response if the demonstrations are violently suppressed.
