Trump's 25% Iran Tariff: Unclear Rules, Big Economic Stakes
President Trump says a 25% tariff will apply to any country doing business with Iran, but details—scope, timing, and legal basis—are not clarified. Iran's main trade partners include China, Iraq, the UAE, and Turkey, with oil and related fuels driving exports. Implementing the tariff could be legally and practically challenging amid existing sanctions regimes and Iran's opaque shipping. If enacted, it could affect US-China trade dynamics and put further strain on Iran's economy, which is already facing inflation and protests.
