Trump says any country doing business with Iran will face 25% U.S. tariff
President Donald Trump on Monday said any country doing business with Iran will face a 25% tariff “on any and all business being done with the United States of America.”
That new tariff on imports from Iran’s trading partners is “effective immediately,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/trump-tariffs-iran...Who buys anything of significance from Iran, that does not already face a 25% US tariff?
or, is this a smokescreen, because the war starts tonight?

It might be an additional 25% tariff.
I don't want to be the one to tell him that we do business with Iran. The sanctions against Iran are extensive, but there are exceptions - so we do trade with them for agricultural products, medicines and medical devices, and a host of other humanitarian goods. To the tune of about a billion dollars per year.

Not to mention the cake that Bob McFarlane delivered. and their "help" with the Iran-Contra arms deal....seems Epstein had his fingers in that one too.
That is the advantage of "American exceptionalism": demanding the rest of the world follow US imposed rules, that the US exempts itself from.

anyone working\competing with american multinationals had decades to laugh over FCPA, especially during the china boom.
it even caught trump's eye, probably making sure that flows INTO america were not being impeded.

Or it’s Donald Trump simply being Donald Trump, pulling that 25% from the same place that he pulled out his 800% reduction in prices.
But if he was reading from a teleprompter, then someone like Steve Miller wrote the script and you may be right.
