【Focus: Trump signs executive order allowing additional tariffs on goods purchased by Iranian oil buyers】
On February 6, 2026, in a press release, the Associated Press in Washington wrote:
Trump signed an executive order allowing additional tariffs (25%) on goods purchased by Iranian oil buyers. The order does not specifically impose tariffs, but provides a legal basis for the president to start imposing tariffs from February 7. This depends on the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of State coordinating to determine the list of Iranian oil buyers and submitting recommendations to the president. The order states that if Iran or foreign buyers of its oil align with U.S. interests in terms of security, foreign policy, and economic issues, the potential tariffs can be waived.
