US to impose 25% tariffs on countries that do business with Iran

[Morphine Prince 109,645]

President Donald Trump said on Monday that countries that do business with Iran will face a new 25% tariff. The announcement appears to mean goods from China, a major trading partner of both Iran and the United States, would become significantly more expensive to import.

“Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. “This Order is final and conclusive,” he added.

The White House declined to share additional information on the tariff and how the Trump administration plans to implement it, referring CNN to the president’s post.

Trump did not define what qualifies as “doing business” with Iran. The post raised a number of questions, including how these additional tariffs could work, which countries would be targeted and whether services and not just goods would face higher duties.

Please tell me y'all saw his weird little press conference where he started wandering way off track and Rubio passed him a note telling him to get back on the subject and this idiot read the note out loud  

And Rubio looked at him like this

Genuinely, my stomach hurt from laughing at this. Idk how these people tolerate working with this actual dumbass.

“What’s this? It says, “Go back to Chevron.” Marco says “go back to Chevron.” Thank you, Marco!”

Been quoting it since I saw the video. Unbelievable 🤣

100%. Utterly boggles my mind.

Biden was old and getting senile, but at least he understood these very, very basic ideas. 

[Lord Mayhem 3,414]

In his brain...tarriffs are sanctions. Civil rights hurt white people. He won the 2020 election. Jan 6 domestic terrorists were patriots. He should be able to strong arm the Federal Reserve, etc etc etc

He literally is a pathological liar

[CELINE 747]

He is spiralling at this point.

 

Old age, stress, and possibly some health concerns that we are not aware of.  A lethal combination, especially if you are the president of a powerful country.

This feels very Stephen Miller so they can hurt Iran and topple it since they’ve been circling that rhetoric lately

I would not be shocked at all if top Military Generals have behind closed doors discussed scenarios to refuse him or take him out should he go next level bezerk and do something crazy such as order nuclear attacks

 

Of course, when the moment comes actually following through with boldness is another matter entirely
