JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing the imposition of tariffs on countries that do business with Iran.
The order was issued on Friday, February 6, the same day the US held nuclear talks with Iran for the first time in more than a year and a half.
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, the executive order did not specify the final tariff amount, but used the figure of 25 percent as an illustration of what might be imposed.
It is stated in the order that import duties may be imposed on imported goods from any country that directly or indirectly purchases, imports, or obtains goods or services from Iran.
The US Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce are tasked with determining whether a foreign country, after the order takes effect, acquires goods or services from Iran.
Trump first announced the plan for sanctions via social media last month, when Iran was hit by mass demonstrations and accused of human rights violations to quell the action.
The executive order is scheduled to take effect at 12:01 a.m. local time Saturday.
