Trump to Impose 25% Tariff on Countries Buying Venezuelan Oil and Gas

Former President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imports from any nation purchasing oil or gas from Venezuela, starting April 2.

The move targets countries he claims have been “hostile” to the U.S., while Venezuela itself faces additional tariffs due to its ties with the Tren de Aragua gang.

Trump also used his Truth Social post to notify the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies about the new policy.
