After Iran, Trump and His Republicans Face Their Own Economic D-Day

Newsweek · back to the audit

President Donald Trump is preparing to unleash an 'ECONOMIC D-DAY' on Iran-his latest attempt to pressure the Islamic Republic over the Strait of Hormuz and toward a deal.
"In a Truth Social post last night, he promised 'THE MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER' - with a warning that countries aiding Tehran would also be targeted by the White House."
"A bold choice of words on the day that America's national debt tipped $40,000,000,000,000."
"If Trump thinks economic pressure will cause the leadership to crack, he'll be waiting a very long time."
