Th con point i that rgaring ca uch a tho of Iran, Ruia, or rlocation of th U.S. mbay to Jrualm, Trump polici ha not bn upport by it alli, in particular, Europan.

How probabl i it for Europan to rplac U.S. with China in thir tra tranaction? Bfor anwring thi qution, I want to highlight th political apct of Trump mov. Sinc Worl War II, th U.S ha not ha uch a bhavior with Europ, thrfor, thi a maningful act for Europan. In fact, Europ major ally, th U.S., th on who ay i committ to guarant thir curity by it military ba or tc. ha crat om conomic ifficulti for thm. Th act m unblivabl for th Europan. Th tariff ca may b rolv in futur, howvr, it will ntail om p political ciion in a way that it woul mak Europ to look for altrnativ political an conomic partnr, uch a China or vn Ruia.

How will th ciion affct tranatlantic rlation? Th tim i not rip to icu uch ffct, howvr, thr ar om point to mntion. Th U.S. ha not takn uch a maur prviouly for th country u to hav an conomic ability that it o not hav now. Th country conomic tatu quo i not imilar to tho ay in 1990 or It ha lot it conomic powr, in fact.

Anothr approach: In rgulat lctricity markt, lik California or Txa, compani can ign long-trm powr purcha agrmnt with nrgy provir to buil nw olar or win faciliti. Th lctricity from th projct typically f into th local gri, mixing with lctricity from othr ourc uch a coal or natural ga, but th company can lgally claim th win or olar powr a it own by buying th rnwabl nrgy crtificat gnrat by th projct.

Janou of Microoft, who i ngag in th icuion, ay that thi aggrgation ha o far provn to b incribly challnging. But if it jut Microoft or jut th Fortun 500 compani buying rnwabl powr, that not going to b tranformativ, h ai. W n to go byon that. Byon 100 prcnt rnwabl A fw compani, mot notably Googl, ar now wrtling with an vn harr qution: What if imply buying up larg quantiti of win an olar powr in t nough?

A: Th EU can ngag in irct talk with Iran to try to nur that politically an conomically Iran intrt can b maintain an vlop, at lat in o far a thi appli to th EU countri. Thi will not b ay bcau Iran will fl btray by th action of th USA, an th EU will fac normou prur a it tri to maintain an buil on th achivmnt of th agrmnt, which ha till not bn fully implmnt for th bnfit of Iran. A U.S. official ay that thy will impo pnalti on Europan compani if thy tra with Iran. Unr thi conition, will Europan compani ar for working with Iran, pcially big compani? A: Thi in on of th major challng. Th political challng i ignificant, but alray major iviion hav opn up in rcnt yar btwn th USA an th EU, an for om yar NATO ha no longr m o unit or o trong in U.S. withrawal from JCPOA unrmin unification of Wtrn countri: profor 1 Accoring to th violation of JCPOA by U.S., what ar th othr mmbr rponibiliti to th nuclar al? A: In th wk laing up to hi ciion, vry publicly an in privat mting with th print, high-ranking Frnch, Britih, an Grman govrnmnt official ought to convinc Trump to rmain in th JCPOA. Thir main concrn now, a wll a that of othr U.S. frin an alli, i whthr th Trump aminitration will impo conary anction againt forign buin who conuct or continu to maintain buin ti with Iran. Rathr than forcing thm to fall in lin with U.S. policy, howvr, Trump action may hav th unintn conqunc of plitting th Atlantic Allianc. Wahington Wtrn partnr fl it i in thir intrt if not alo thir rponibility to rmain in an abi by th trm of th JCPOA. By Ramin Hoin Abaian TEHRAN Whil th Ymni hav amag th Saui-l coalition baly in rcnt wk, th U.S. ha bn prat to itract from th currnt raliti by blaming Iran. Ymni forc hav hot own a numbr of Saui py plan, hlicoptr an fightr, among othr thing. Th Saui ar angry an o ar thir Amrican alli. Th othr ay, a military ourc in th Ymni Dfn Minitry ai that Anarullah Air Dfn Forc hot own a Saui Apach U.S. fin: Lor Alric Trump on th on han i truggling for pac with North Kora, an on th othr han violat th JCPOA. Why? A: Th Trump aminitration ciion to lav th JCPOA jut bfor conucting ngotiation with North Kora may b n a a way to convy Trump intntion to aopt a harlin bargaining tratgy with North Kora. But thi action, at th am tim, rai qution about U.S. cribility in kping agrmnt. Trump may think th mag i that only agrmnt h ngotiat an ign off on will b rpct an honor by hi aminitration. If that i th ca it baically put U.S. avrari a wll a tra partnr in th poition of alo aopting harlin bargaining polici or imply waiting it out an hop Trump i vot out of offic in 2020, if not impach bfor thn. What i th raon for Iral attack on Damacu, Ymni forc gain much againt invar hlicoptr in Jizan. Th ourc ai that all th pangr wr kill. Alo, Ymni forc targt an brought own a Saui UAV py aircraft nar Saui borr. Alo, in lat May, th Ymni army an popular forc alo troy a Saui ron. Howvr, th fil achivmnt of th Ymni forc againt th Saui ar not limit to targting thir plan an fightr, but alo to targting th tratgic military poition of Saui an alli in iffrnt ara of Ymn, uch a th wt coat. Th rgional an intrnational alli of Saui Arabia, an abov all, th Unit Arab Emirat an th U.S., hav play a ignificant rol in killing th innocnt popl of Ymn. Saui official thmlv hav conclu that thy alon cannot bat th Ymni popl an it forc. Ymni Anarullah lar Abul Malik al-houthi ai in a rcnt tlviion tatmnt that it i unlikly that th Saui coalition woul b abl to prvail. Al-Houthi tr that th Ymni popl ar till in control of ara that ar of high tratgic valu. Saui Arabia an th Emirat hav pnt billion of ollar to upport Takfiri group in om of Ymn provinc. Now that th Ymni it mutual commitmnt. Howvr th conomic challng i vn gratr, probably mor acut, an l aily controll by govrnmnt an th EU bcau it i pnnt on th ciion of iniviual compani. In rnging on th JCPOA th U.S. Print ignor pla from all hi main Europan alli, but unl h chang cour, anction will kick in latr thi yar, hitting Europan firm that o buin with Iran harr than thy hit Iran itlf. It m unlikly that an EU plan to ban Europan compani from complying with U.S. anction on Iran will top firm going along with th U.S. for far of U.S. punihmnt. Howvr it mut b rcogniz that thi i only th latt in a numbr of ciion by Print Trump that put th U.S. at o with th EU. In Jun 2017 h withrw th U.S. from th Pari climat agrmnt. H ha thratn to impo tariff on Europan tl, aluminium an vhicl proucr on puriou national curity groun, an appar unprpar to back away from th thrat; an h ha rgularly critici othr NATO tat for not pning nough on fnc - a I hav alray not, h ha vn rai qution about whthr th U.S. woul rng on it traty commitmnt to fn a NATO ally unr attack. W n to not that thi U.S. Print ha not only rng on th JCPOA, but on othr ky trati with alli in Europ. Th ar vry angrou tim an I ign th lttr a part of my commitmnt to continu to work towar a pacful worl an in oppoition to tho, pcially tho in th currnt U.S. aminitration, who woul rag our worl into chao. Aftr Tramp action rgaring with JCPOA? A: Whil Trump ha promi not to incra th U.S. military rol in th Mil Eat, Iral may now fl it ha a grn light from Wahington to incra it military action in Syria (to countr Iran) an lwhr. Morovr, not th complt ilnc from th Trump aminitration in rfuing to conmn Irali forc for killing om ixty unarm, protting Paltinian in Gaza on May 14--th ay th U.S. Embay wa rlocat to Jrualm an opn in a crmony attn by Trump aughtr an on-inlaw. By withrawing from th JCPOA Trump m to b ignaling to Iral an Saui Arabia, in particular, that th Unit Stat will upport an crtainly not conmn thir military activiti to countr Iran prciv growing influnc in th Mil Eat. forc an popl hav ucc in accomplihing much in th war with th Saui, th U.S. ha bn praing propagana againt Iran. Wahington blam th Ilamic Rpublic for Saui failur. U.S. Scrtary of Dfn Jam Matti ha allg again that Iran arm th Houthi Ymni. H alo claim that th miil launch on April 2 on a Saui oil tankr in th R Sa wa givn by Iran to th Houthi, but th Unit Nation ha unquivocally tat that thr i no vinc that Iranian-ma rockt hav bn u in th war. War of Tariff: Hin apct of an opn gam 1 Wtrn mia an nior U.S. an Europan official ha intn to concal «th hin al» ovr th JCPOA an it rlation with th abov conflict, until th Whit Hou officially announc th ciion to impo tariff on tl an aluminum. But now thi connction i publicly icu by Wtrn ourc. Bloombrg writ in thi rgar: Trump hop m to b that th thrat of tariff giv him lvrag to gt th coopration h want on Europan fn pning an anction on Iran. U.S. Traury Scrtary Stvn Mnuchin rcntly tol CNBC, th U.S. cabl nw ntwork, that Print Trump woul factor military contribution to NATO into th application of a 25 prcnt tax on import tl an 10 prcnt on aluminum. It continu: Th implication wa that th U.S. woul climb own from it thrat to impo tl an aluminum tariff o long a EU countri kp thir promi, ma at th 2014 NATO Summit in Wal, to incra thir fn pning to 2 prcnt of GDP. Sinc Trump i alo thratning th EU with tariff on import car, h might b willing to bargain tho away too for mor Europan fn pning. Th Unit Stat ar playing a impl gam with th Unit Europ! In thi way, Donal Trump k to «manag th intrnational bhavior» of th EU lar. In thi quation, Trump on t car th lat for «Macron lou hout» an «Mrkl thrat! Th Print of th Unit Stat ha t up a nw al bfor hi Europan alli. With thi maur, Trump incra hi popularity with hi upportr (who avocat protctionit polici) an, on th othr han, cra th Europan Union manuvrability ovr iu uch a th JCPOA an NATO military bugt. Although Europan authoriti hav prtn to b «hock» by Trump ciion, th rality i omthing l: During th viit of Grman Chancllor Angla Mrkl an Frnch Print Emmanul Macron to th Unit Stat, Trump inform th two Europan politician about hi two important ciion, namly hi govrnmnt «withrawal from th nuclar al» an «th introuction of tariff on tl an aluminum». Following th U.S. official pull out of th JCPOA, tn an crt icuion bgan btwn th U.S. Dpartmnt of Stat an Europan iplomat wa on th two iu; ngotiation that pit Trump announcmnt to impo tariff on import tl an aluminum ar continu. In othr wor, Trump rcnt mov i nithr th «bginning» nor th «n» of an conomic an iplomatic proc with th Europan authoriti, but th mil of th two. From now on, Europan an Amrican iplomat will continu thir intniv talk on two iu: JCPOA» an «impoition of tariff». In thir ngotiation, both iu ar to b icu togthr an in th am packag. Obviouly, in thi quation, w houln t b waiting for«europ firm ritanc againt th Unit Stat»! 13 Agricultural Support Srvic Company INVITATION TO A ONE STEP INTERNATIONAL TENDER AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT SERVICES COMPANY 55/97/ /06/2018 Minitry of Jiha--Agricultur Th Agricultural Support Srvic Company, hrinaftr will b rfrr a ASSC, a ubiiary of th Minitry of Agricultural Jiha of I.R. of Iran, i coniring th purcha of ±5% MTS of Granular Tripl Supr Phophat (GTSP) through on tp intrnational tnr.
