"We agreed that we will go full force with maximum pressure against Iran, for example, regarding Iranian oil sales to China,"
"We'll see if it's possible. Let's give it a shot"
The maximum pressure campaign will proceed alongside nuclear talks and a regional military build-up prepared for possible strikes if diplomacy fails. An executive order enables the secretary of State and the secretary of Commerce to recommend presidential tariffs up to 25% on any country that conducts business with Iran, increasing economic leverage. Tariffs on China for buying Iranian oil would complicate U.S.-China relations, risk rare earth magnet flows, and threaten a planned April summit in Beijing. Markets are more concerned about regional oil-flow disruptions than Iran's production alone. Netanyahu and Trump agree on an Iran without nuclear weapons but disagree on how to achieve that end, with Netanyahu rejecting a good deal and Trump wanting to try; Trump asked advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the odds of reaching a deal.
