Former President Donald Trump has announced that any country purchasing oil or gas from Venezuela will face a 25% tariff on trade with the United States.
This move is part of his broader stance against the Venezuelan government and its alleged ties to the Tren de Aragua gang. Trump has also begun deporting immigrants accused of being members of the gang who entered the U.S. illegally. Countries like China, India, and Spain could be affected by these tariffs, potentially escalating trade tensions.
The policy signals a tougher approach to both immigration and international trade under a possible future Trump administration.
