From Truth Social via Raw Story today:
"ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form," Trump wrote. "Thank you for your attention to this matter, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."
NBC News reporter Garrett Haake responded to the post, saying, "We’re all talking about Waltz, but THIS post could have a huge economic and geopolitical impact."
White House correspondent for the HuffPost, S.V. Dáte noted, "No one's allowed to buy oil or oil products from Iran, but if you're Russia, buying missiles, drones and technical expertise for killing Ukrainians in their sleep is still fine by Trump."
Political influencer and tech commentator Brian Krassenstein questioned whether this meant that Trump was cutting off "ALL Trade and business with China."
"Trump says any country that buys oil from Iran will not be allowed to do business with U.S. China imports approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports," he added.
