Trump Warns: Countries Buying Venezuelan Oil to Face 25% Tariff

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred international relations once again, this time with a bold statement regarding Venezuela’s oil exports. Trump announced that countries purchasing oil from Venezuela would face a hefty 25% tariff, calling out the nation’s economic ties with countries that defy U.S. sanctions.

Venezuela, which has long been at odds with the United States due to its political regime, has found new trading partners in Asia and Europe. Trump’s remarks come as part of his broader strategy to put pressure on countries that continue to engage with the Venezuelan government. Critics argue that the move could harm global oil markets and strain diplomatic relations further.

As Trump’s words reverberate globally, experts are watching closely to see how nations will respond and whether the former president’s policies will have any lasting impact on global energy markets and Venezuela’s economy.
