The Latest: German industry group: US Iran call is illegal
By Associated Press May 9 at 7:01 AM

An influential German business association says Washington’s call for companies to stop dealing with Iran is contrary to international law.

The Federation of German Industries, or BDI, said Wednesday it rejects “the extraterritorial application of sanctions” and called upon the EU to find a solution to protect European companies from the “unlawful and unilateral” application of U.S. sanctions.

Many in Germany bristled at a tweet Tuesday from U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell after only hours on the job saying “German companies doing business in Iran should wind down operations immediately.”

He later defended it as “the exact language sent out from the White House.”

1. Just one more way this is going to blow up in that asshole's face.

Does that stupid jackass really believe other countries are going to just drop their businesses with Iran because he told them to do so? I look forward to seeing the big middle finger they'll all be waving at him.

2. Apparently Trump not only thinks he is the dictator of America

but of the entire world as well.

Developments in the future should be interesting.
