The move, which Trump described as taking immediate effect, underscores a strict stance against nations involved in Iran’s military activities.
In a statement shared on social media, Trump emphasized the sweeping nature of the tariff policy: “A Country supplying Military Weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed, on any and all goods sold to the United States of America, 50%, effective immediately. There will be no exclusions or exemptions!”
This announcement comes shortly after the U.S. and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement earlier this week, marking a significant step in Middle Eastern diplomacy. Trump has referred to recent developments as “very productive regime change” and expressed his commitment to maintaining progress in relations between the two nations.
The president also highlighted other measures aimed at curbing Iran’s military capabilities. In another statement, Trump declared, “there will be no enrichment of uranium,” adding that many aspects of the U.S. peace proposals have already been agreed upon by Iran.
As part of ongoing talks, the United States and Iran are expected to discuss potential tariff adjustments and sanctions relief, signaling attempts to stabilize economic ties amid geopolitical tensions.
