In a post earlier today on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced that he would be imposing secondary tariffs on Venezuela, “for numerous reasons, including the fact that Venezuela has purposefully and deceitfully sent to the United States, undercover, tens of thousands of high level, and other, criminals, many of whom are murderers and people of a very violent nature.” According to the post from President Trump, after April 2nd any country which purchases oil or gas from Venezuela, will be required to pay the U.S. a 25% tariff on any future trade done with companies within the United States.
