PANews reported on January 23 that, according to CCTV, US President Trump stated during a speech aboard Air Force One that his administration is closely monitoring Iran. He warned that a "massive fleet" of US troops is heading towards Iran. When asked by reporters about the "secondary tariffs" imposed on Iran, he stated that the US government will impose a 25% tariff on all countries trading with Iran, and this measure will take effect soon. Trump's so-called "secondary tariffs" are not technical terms; they are essentially a form of monetary sanction imposed on countries that trade with nations the US "dislikes."
