The United States government has announced its intention to impose tariffs on countries whose oil companies engage in the production, extraction, or exportation of oil and related products with Venezuela's Maduro regime. The U.S. accuses this regime of election fraud, corruption, and alliances with adversaries.
The announcement emphasizes that any country allowing such activities will face new tariffs, while involved companies will be subjected to sanctions. This policy is a continuation of President Trump's recent Executive Order targeting the Venezuelan government.
The statement underscores the administration's stance against the Maduro regime, which it claims has "consistently stolen elections, pillaged from its people, and colluded with our enemies."
