The White House will strictly enforce the upcoming secondary sanctions on companies that do business with Iran, President Trump reaffirmed on Sunday.

Trump announced earlier this year the U.S. would withdraw from the nuclear accord with Iran, spurring global confusion as international companies race to unwind their operations in the country. In the aftermath of that decision, the administration said it would sanction companies that continue to do business with Iran.
