26. June: The United States require all countries to stop importing Iranian oil
The United States, after leaving the nuclear deal with Iran, want to deprive the country of its main source of income with a total oil embargo. It is true that the United States, with the help of a strict regime of sanctions, want to reduce to zero the oil imports of the other Iranian countries, said Tuesday in Washington a senior manager of the department of 39, US state. The goal is November 4th. "We will be in contact with our partners in the Middle East in about a week to ensure that the world's oil supply will not be affected," he said.
The United States was aware that this would not only be endorsed by US allies, especially oil importers. "The reason they're going to do it anyway is their relationship with us," he said. In principle, all countries are affected, there are discussions, among others, with China, India and Turkey before.
US President Donald Trump announced in May the unilateral withdrawal of his country from the nuclear deal with Iran and reinstated economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic suspended under the agreement . Trump had spoken in recent days of the early successes of the policy, which the head of the state department described as "a strategy of maximum economic pressure."
"Iran has been a different country since we left," Trump said. Tehran has already changed its aggressive behavior in the region. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the Tehran government is also under pressure from its own people over the economic situation. The Iranian people are tired of having to constantly pay for the consequences of the politics of the elite clerics
United States Supreme Court: Trump's ban on entry is constitutional [19659007] In the dispute over the recent entry of US President Donald Trump People from several Islamic countries joined the US Supreme Court on the government side. The decision issued Tuesday narrowly came out with five or four votes
The case concerned the most recent form of visa ban that the government issued last September. The people affected are Iranians, Libyans, Somalis, Syrians and Yemenis.
Trump imposed the first entry ban on people from several predominantly Muslim countries only a week after taking office on January 20, 2017, triggering horror around the world. Chancellor Angela Merkel also criticized the measure.
There was chaos in several airports and massive demonstrations. A federal judge finally decided Trump's decree provisionally. In the following months, he should come to a difficult legal dispute. The Trump government has revised the ban on entry several times – again and again the courts have put the different versions, but on the ice.
En décembre dernier, la Cour suprême a finalement mis en vigueur la dernière forme d'interdiction de visa de septembre. Affectés étaient à côté de l'Iran, la Libye, la Somalie, la Syrie et le Yémen et le Tchad. Le gouvernement Trump avait soutenu que ces pays ne respectaient pas les exigences des États-Unis en matière de vérification de sécurité des demandeurs de visa et de partage de l'information. Chad a été retiré plus tard de la liste. Il existe également des restrictions pour la Corée du Nord et le Venezuela.
L'affaire devant la Cour suprême a fait face au gouvernement Trump d'un côté et à l'État d'Hawaï et aux autres plaignants de l'autre. Les opposants doutaient de la constitutionnalité de l'action de Trump et l'accusaient d'avoir outrepassé ses pouvoirs. Ils ont également fait référence à des déclarations anti-musulmanes du militant Trump, qui a appelé à "un blocus complet des Etats-Unis contre les musulmans" et a fait valoir qu'il était discriminatoire envers les gens à cause de leur religion.
Trump droht Harley-Davidson: "Werden besteuert wie nie zuvor!"
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat dem Motorradbauer Harley-Davidson wegen dessen geplanter Verlagerung von Teilen der US-Produktion im Zuge der EU-Vergeltungszölle mit heftigen Konsequenzen gedroht. "Eine Harley sollte niemals in einem anderen Land gebaut werden", twitterte Trump am Dienstag. Mitarbeiter und Kunden seien bereits sehr wütend. Wenn das Unternehmen seine Ankündigung wahr mache, bedeute dies "den Anfang vom Ende", schrieb Trump und drohte: "Sie werden besteuert wie nie zuvor!".
A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end – they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
26. Juni 2018
In einem anderen Tweet hieß es zuvor bereits: "Harley muss sich im Klaren sein, nur mit einer hohen Steuer zurück in die USA verkaufen zu können". Der Motorradhersteller hatte am Montag erklärt, durch den Schritt sollten zusätzliche Zölle umgangen und so eine Preiserhöhung für Kunden in Europa vermieden werden. Trump, der Harley-Davidson schon am Vortag gerügt hatte, beschuldigte die Firma nun zudem, die Zollpolitik nur als vorgeschobene Begründung für den Abbau von Produktionskapazitäten in den USA zu benutzen.
….When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
26. Juni 2018
Harley-Davidson habe – lange bevor die Zölle verhängt wurden – angekündigt, einen Großteil seines Werks in Kansas City nach Thailand zu verlagern, behauptete Trump. "Sie benutzen Zölle/Handelskrieg nur als Ausrede." Tatsächlich hatte der Hersteller bereits vor über einem Jahr bekanntgegeben, eine Fabrik in Thailand zu bauen. Zölle waren damals allerdings nicht als Grund von Harley-Davidson genannt worden. Es gehe darum, die Präsenz im asiatisch-pazifischen Markt zu erhöhen, hieß es. Bis dahin war Trump eigentlich ein großer Fan der Firma gewesen. "Wir sind stolz auf euch! Made in America, Harley-Davidson", hatte er vorher noch bei einem Empfang im Weißen Haus gejubelt.
Trump rügt Harley Davidson für Flucht vor Zöllen
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat sich "überrascht" über die Ankündigung des US-Motorradherstellers Harley-Davidson zur teilweisen Produktionsverlagerung ins Ausland gezeigt. "Überrascht, dass Harley-Davidson von allen Unternehmen das erste ist, das die Weiße Fahne hisst", schrieb Trump am Montag im Kurzbotschaftendienst Twitter.
"Ich habe hart für sie gekämpft und am Ende werden sie keine Zölle auf Verkäufe in die EU zahlen, die uns beim Handel schlimm geschädigt hat", twitterte Trump weiter. Die Steuern seien nur eine "Ausrede" des Motorradherstellers, schrieb Trump und forderte "Geduld".
Surprised that Harley-Davidson, of all companies, would be the first to wave the White Flag. I fought hard for them and ultimately they will not pay tariffs selling into the E.U., which has hurt us badly on trade, down $151 Billion. Taxes just a Harley excuse – be patient! #MAGA

25. Juni 2018
Der legendäre US-Motorradhersteller hatte zuvor als Konsequenz aus den EU-Strafzöllen angekündigt, einen Teil seiner Produktion in andere Länder zu verlagern. Dies sei "die einzige tragfähige Option", um weiter ein überlebensfähiges Geschäft in Europa zu betreiben, begründete die Firma den Schritt.
Die EU hatte am vergangenen Freitag als Antwort auf die von Trump verhängten Strafzölle auf Aluminium und Stahl Gegenzölle auf eine Vielzahl von US-Produkten verhängt, darunter neben den Kult-Motorrädern von Harley-Davidson auch Erdnussbutter, Jeans und Whiskey. Viele der betroffenen Produkte stammen aus Regionen, in denen Trump eine starke Anhängerschaft hat.
25. Juni: Berichte: USA wollen chinesische Investitionen in Tech-Firmen stark begrenzen
Im Handelskonflikt mit China wollen die USA laut Medienberichten offenbar in Kürze eine neue Front aufbauen. Das Finanzministerium plane, chinesische Investitionen in US-Technologiefirmen stark einzuschränken, berichteten am Montag übereinstimmend die Finanznachrichtenagentur Bloomberg und das Wall Street Journal unter Berufung auf Insider. Washington wolle sich dabei auf eine Gefährdung der wirtschaftlichen und nationalen Sicherheit der USA berufen.
US-Finanzminister Steven Mnuchin bezeichnete die Berichte als "falsch". Er dementierte allerdings nicht, dass seine Regierung mit weiteren Maßnahmen gegen den Diebstahl geistigen Eigentums in der High-Tech-Branche vorgehen will: Die geplanten Maßnahmen richteten sich aber nicht "spezifisch gegen China, sondern alle Länder, die versuchen, unsere Technologie zu stehlen", erklärte der Minister im Kurzbotschaftendienst Twitter.
On behalf of @realDonaldTrumpthe stories on investment restrictions in Bloomberg & WSJ are false, fake news. The leaker either doesn’t exist or know the subject very well. Statement will be out not specific to China, but to all countries that are trying to steal our technology.

Volkswirte: US-Handelskonflikt belastet zunehmend deutsche Wirtschaft
Die internationalen Handelskonflikte sorgen nach Einschätzung von Konjunktur- und Arbeitsmarktexperten bei vielen deutschen Unternehmen zunehmend für Verunsicherung. Der von US-Präsident Donald Trump ausgelöste Zollstreit mit China, der Europäischen Union und anderen Ländern lasse Firmenchefs bei Investitionen zögern. Das erklärten Volkswirte deutscher Großbanken in einer Umfrage der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Der Arbeitsmarkt in Deutschland zeige sich wegen voller Auftragsbücher und robuster Binnenwirtschaft davon aber noch unberührt.
Im Juni dürften den Schätzungen der Experten zufolge rund 2,28 Millionen Menschen ohne Job gewesen sein. Das wären etwa 36.000 weniger als im Mai und rund 194.000 weniger als vor einem Jahr.
Gleichzeitig geht es für den Dax weiter abwärts: Im frühen Handel sank der deutsche Leitindex am Montag um 0,85 Prozent auf 12.472,63 Punkte. Der EuroStoxx 50 als Leitindex der Eurozone verlor ähnlich deutlich.
24. Juni: Trump will illegale Einwanderer ohne Gerichtsverfahren abschieben
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat dafür plädiert, Einwanderern ohne Aufenthaltspapiere das Recht auf ein Verfahren zu verweigern und sie stattdessen sofort abzuschieben. Auf Twitter forderte er am Sonntag, dass Menschen, die die Grenze illegal überquerten, kein Gerichtsverfahren bekommen dürften. "Wir können nicht zulassen, dass all diese Leute in unser Land einfallen", schrieb er. "Wenn jemand herkommt, müssen wir sie sofort ohne Richter oder Gerichtsverfahren dahin zurückschicken, wo sie hergekommen sind." Das bisherige System sei eine "Farce", fügte er hinzu.
In den USA entscheiden Einwanderungsgerichte über die Fälle von Menschen, die die Grenze illegal überquert haben.
Trump hatte mit seiner rigorosen Flüchtlingspolitik in den vergangenen Tagen weltweit für Entrüstung gesorgt. Innerhalb weniger Wochen trennten die Behörden mehr als 2000 Kinder illegal eingewanderter Menschen aus Süd- und Mittelamerika konsequent von ihren Familien. Trump ermöglichte es am Mittwoch per Präsidentenerlass vorläufig, dass Kinder und Eltern gemeinsam inhaftiert werden können und beendete die umstrittene Praxis damit zunächst. Dies ist jedoch eine befristete Regelung, sie muss gesetzlich untermauert werden.
Der US-Präsident ist verstärkt darum bemüht, Menschen ohne Aufenthaltspapiere als kriminell darzustellen. Er zeichnet ein düsteres Bild von der Lage an der Grenze und hat wiederholt von einer Krise gesprochen.
Das ist allerdings nicht durch Fakten gedeckt. Die Zahl der Festnahmen an der Grenze ist seit Jahren insgesamt rückläufig. Zwar gab es in den vergangenen Monaten einen Anstieg, im Vergleich zu früheren Jahren sind die Zahlen aber niedriger.
Mehr als 520 Einwandererkinder wieder mit Eltern vereint
Nach der Trennung von ihren Eltern im Zuge der sogenannten Null-Toleranz-Politik sind in den USA 522 Flüchtlingskinder wieder mit ihren Familien vereint worden. Das teilte das US-Heimatschutzministerium mit. Weitere 16 Kinder sollten noch am Sonntag wieder mit ihren Eltern zusammengebracht werden. Eine kleine Anzahl von Kindern werde von ihren Familien getrennt bleiben, etwa wenn die Verwandtschaft nicht bestätigt werden könne, der Erwachsene eine Gefahr für das Kind darstelle oder kriminell sei.
23. Juni: Aktivisten: Chaos nach Familientrennungen an US-Grenze
Nach den umstrittenen Familientrennungen an der US-mexikanischen Grenze gibt es offenbar kein Konzept für die Wiedervereinigung der Eltern mit ihren Kindern. Die US-Behörden konnten vorerst keine Angaben dazu machen, was mit den minderjährigen Migranten passieren soll, die bereits in verschiedene Auffanglager des Landes gebracht wurden.
"Die Situation ist absolut chaotisch", sagte Matt Clausen von der Menschenrechtsorganisation Wola am Freitag (Ortszeit) der Nachrichtenagentur AFP. "Es bleiben so viele offene Fragen und es scheint so, als gäbe es keinen Plan, um die Eltern wieder mit ihren Kindern zusammenzubringen", erklärte Clausen.
Die US-Armee prüft derweil offenbar die Unterbringung von zehntausenden erwachsenen Migranten auf leer stehenden Stützpunkten der Luftwaffe. Wie das US-Magazin Time am Freitag unter Berufung auf ein internes Papier berichtete, könnten sowohl leerstehende Gebäude genutzt als auch "vorübergehende" Zeltstädte auf ehemaligen Landebahnen errichtet werden.

Demnach könnten rund 25.000 Migranten auf Luftwaffenbasen in der Nähe von Mobile im US-Bundesstaat Alabama untergebracht werden. In dem Dokument wird auch die Errichtung von Flüchtlingsunterkünften für jeweils insgesamt 47.000 Menschen in der Nähe von San Francisco sowie in Camp Pendleton im Süden des Bundesstaates Kalifornien vorgeschlagen. Weitere Migranten könnten auf einer Armeebasis in Yuma im Bundesstaat Arizona untergebracht werden.
Das US-Verteidigungsministerium lehnte jede Stellungnahme zu dem internen Papier ab. Ein Sprecher sagte allerdings, das Heimatschutzministerium habe noch keine offizielle Anfrage für die Unterbringung von Migranten an das Pentagon gerichtet. Das Verteidigungsministerium erstelle Pläne und prüfe alle Militärbasen des Landes, um auf eine Anfrage des Heimatschutzministeriums "für die Unterbringung illegaler erwachsener Migranten" reagieren zu können.
