Details: Earlier on February 6, Trump is said to have signed an executive order that allows the US to impose additional tariffs on imports from any country that directly or indirectly buys, imports or otherwise procures goods or services from Iran.
Thus, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce, together with the Office of the US Trade Representative and the Department of Homeland Security, can decide to what extent the additional tariff should be applied.
Trump did not specify which rate he was talking about.
