US President Donald Trump says any country that supplies weapons to Iran would face 50 percent tariffs.
The president spoke in a Truth Social post on Wednesday in
the wake of the ceasefire agreement reached between the US and Iran last night.
“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!” he said.
In a separate post, Trump also said sanctions relief for
Iran will be discussed and that many aspects of a 15-point plan had been
agreed.
The president and Tehran had previously said a 10-point plan
put forth by the Iranians would serve as the basis for the talks.
The acceptance of uranium enrichment, payment of
compensation, withdrawal of US combat forces from the region and lifting of all
sanctions are some of the other highlights of the proposal.
However, Trump said the US will work with Iran to dig up and
remove buried uranium in the country.
Several European leaders have called on the US and Iran to
quickly reach a diplomatic solution to their conflict.
“We strongly encourage quick progress towards a substantive
negotiated settlement,” they said in a joint statement.
The leaders also called on all sides to implement the
ceasefire, including in Lebanon where Israel is still firing multiple strikes.
