In typical Trump style, U.S. President Donald Trump’s January 12 announcement of stiff new tariffs on Iran’s trading partners was devoid of almost all essential details. It also proves that this U.S. president does not quite understand the difference between sanctions and tariffs, but why should he split hairs? These executive policy choices all bring pain to an economic opponent, some with more focus than others, so why get bogged down in the details? And Trump announcements without details provide an extra news cycle or two of interviews for the Washington pundit cadre and the global media’s “instant experts” on the topic of the hour.
