Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on all countries importing oil from Venezuela.
This move is part of a policy to exert pressure on the Maduro regime and enhance U.S. energy security.
Trump emphasized that these tariffs aim to reduce dependence on Venezuelan oil and impose additional sanctions on the Venezuelan government.
These statements have elicited mixed reactions from the countries involved, with some considering that they could lead to a rise in global oil prices.
