Donald Trump has beet hit with a surprising offer potentially worth $1 trillion. The only thing standing in the way is a very shaky past.
As midterm elections approach, the Trump administration is favoring economic pressure over military involvement, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announcing Monday some 60 new Iranian entities, individuals and ships have been added to the sanctions list. Tehran in turn denounced 'economic terrorism.'
The White House already has a nuclear-proof facility buried deep underground and built in secret after 9/11.
U.S. president's tariffs have transferred billions from working Americans to big corporations and the rich.
Also says Canada has 'shifted in Trumpian direction'
UAE, long a crucial trading hub for Tehran, has also suspended commercial ties
“As long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in delusions, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade,” Iran’s deputy foreign minister said.
Backlash against tariffs has the potential to cost the White House dearly in the November elections. But investors have mostly moved on.
