apr 8, 2026 - Trump Threatens 50% Tariffs

Description:

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that imports from countries supplying Iran with military ​weapons will face immediate 50% tariffs with no exemptions, threatening the move just hours after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with Tehran.

After more than five weeks ‌of strikes against Iran's missile launchers, military sites and weapons industry, Trump reverted to tariffs as leverage, using a social media post to warn China and Russia against restocking Tehran's arsenals.
