President Trump, the Republic of the United States, announced on Thursday, August 27, that the United States has no plans to talk with the ruling regime in Iran, and that Washington is focused on punishing Tehran economically. President Trump also promised to fine countries that do business with the mullahs’ regime.
“We don’t want to talk to them,” the American president told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House. “We are not looking for a meeting or any other communication.”
Before President Trump’s speech, White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt announced that the economic pressure campaign of the United States will continue until the mullahs’ regime decides to engage in meaningful negotiations.
Leavitt told Fox & Friends: “We are now running an economic isolation operation to destroy their economy. “There are no negotiations going on right now, and that will continue until the president feels they are ready to come to the negotiating table in a meaningful way… Of course, he still keeps all options on the table.”
On August 24, Scott Best, the US Treasury Secretary, also warned countries to cut off their financial ties with the mullahs’ regime, otherwise they will face secondary sanctions; The move was referred to as “Economic D-Day”, although the Treasury declined to immediately impose fines that day.
