President Trump declared on Monday that countries purchasing oil from Venezuela would face a 25% tariff on their goods sent to the U.S. starting April 2. He justified this stance by alleging that Venezuela has sent criminals into the U.S. This unconventional tariff could significantly disrupt the global oil trade as countries like China and India, major buyers of Venezuelan oil, search for alternatives. Additionally, U.S. purchases of Venezuelan oil are expected to decline due to revocation of a license for Chevron to operate in Venezuela.
