Trump announced plans to impose secondary duties against Iran

US President Donald Trump plans to impose secondary duties against Iran if Tehran does not come to an agreement with Washington on its nuclear program. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on March 31.

"There is a possibility that if they don't make a deal, I will impose secondary duties on them, as I did four years ago," the American leader told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The president of the United States also noted that tariffs "will hit almost all countries." So, according to him, the duties he is going to announce this week will cover all countries, not just a small group of 10-15 countries with the largest trade imbalances.

In addition, Trump said that the deal on the Chinese TikTok app will take place before the deadline on Saturday.

On March 30, NBC News reported that Trump had threatened Iran with bombing if the parties did not sign an agreement on Tehran's refusal to develop nuclear weapons. According to the President of the United States, it will be "bombing, which they have never seen before."

In turn, a senior Iranian military official, according to The Telegraph, said that Iran is attacking the joint US-British naval base on Diego Garcia Island in response to any hostile actions by the United States against the Iranian people.
