Trump’s
Ambassador To Germany Scores Another Victory Against Iran
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell
is quietly convincing German companies to discontinue business with Iran.
Grenell has scored a series of
victories in recent days by successfully lobbying
against a $400 million payment from the German central bank to the Islamic
Republic and convincing car
company Daimler to cancel expansion plans in the country.
Many German businesses rushed to do
business with Iran after the signing of the nuclear deal in 2015.
The Trump administration, however, has
pulled out of the nuclear deal and announced
Monday that it would re-impose the same economic sanctions on Iran that the
Obama administration removed as part of the deal. The new economic
sanctions will limit Iranian ability to use the U.S. dollar, to trade in
precious metals, and target its import/export businesses to the United States.
The
sanctions also affect any business that wishes do business with U.S. entities.
“The Trump administration intends to fully
enforce the sanctions reimposed against Iran, and those who fail to wind down
activities with Iran risk severe consequences,” the White House warned in a
Monday release.
Grenell was particularly instrumental in
convincing Daimler to cancel its expansion and business with
Iran, having met with the CEO of the company on several occasions, a U.S.
official familiar with the process tells The Daily Caller.
The ambassador has met with several other
CEOs of major German companies with planned business in Iran to deliver a stark
message: either do business with Iran or the U.S., but not both.
U.S. pressure on German companies is part
of a broader Trump-administration strategy to negotiate a new nuclear deal with
Iran. The United States is bringing pressure to bear on Iran in the form of
economic sanctions which have dramatically affected the Islamic Republic’s
currency and isolated it from the global economic system.
