Trump vows ‘economic warfare’ on countries helping Iran | Donald Trump News

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning of “economic D-Day” to any nations that engage in trade or provide assistance to Iran. In a recent statement, Trump emphasized his administration’s shift towards imposing economic restrictions rather than relying on military measures.

The declaration, though lacking in specificity, indicates a renewed commitment to addressing Iran’s activities through economic pressure. Al Jazeera correspondent Mike Hanna noted that this approach reflects a strategic pivot in U.S. policy concerning Iran.

The warning was made public on August 20, 2026, signaling possible repercussions for countries that choose to support Iran amid ongoing tensions.
