Spoke to The Independent on Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on any country trading with Iran. It is economic warfare. This kind of erratic trade coercion raises the risk of doing business with the US, accelerates its isolation, and fuels global de-dollarisation www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

even as denmark puts out statements asking the US to back off greenland, it won’t come out and directly criticize the US for violating international law in venezuela.
it’s the typical western response: “maduro was bad and international law should be respected” but never stating who violated it.
