TRUMP STRIKES BACK: AMERICA FIRST TARIFFS ON VENEZUELA’S OIL BUYERS

President Donald J. Trump has announced harsh secondary tariffs on foreign nations that dare to purchase oil and gas from the criminal socialist regime of Nicolás Maduro. This America First policy is a direct response to Venezuela’s deliberate and sinister attempt to flood the United States with violent criminals, including members of the brutal Tren de Aragua gang.

“Maduro’s regime 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,” President Trump declared in a Truth Social post on Monday.

With immediate effect, any country purchasing oil and gas from Venezuela will face a 25% tariff on all trade with the United States. The policy is set to take effect on April 2nd, 2025 – LIBERATION DAY IN AMERICA.

For years, the Maduro dictatorship has been working behind the scenes to undermine American security, using our open southern border to send in waves of criminals to spread terror and violence across our communities. Among them, Tren de Aragua, a notorious criminal empire originating in Venezuela, has been officially designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization under Trump’s leadership.

President Trump isn’t just exposing this betrayal—he’s taking immediate action. His administration has already begun the mass deportation of these criminals, invoking the Alien Enemies Act to round up and expel hundreds of Tren de Aragua members before leftist activist judges attempted to stall the process. In less than 100 days, nearly 400 gang members have been arrested, with ICE agents recently detaining 68 in just one week.

Trump’s move to slap tariffs on those doing business with Venezuela sends a clear warning to globalist appeasers and weak foreign leaders who continue to prop up Maduro’s failing dictatorship.

These tariffs will serve as an economic sledgehammer, crippling Maduro’s ability to fund his criminal enterprise while forcing foreign nations to choose: stand with America or stand with criminals. The days of weak, apologetic leadership under Biden are over.

Despite their crimes, the radical left and their corporate media allies have refused to call out Maduro for his role in unleashing chaos on the American people. Instead, they are more concerned with protecting illegals, criminals, and cartel members than ensuring the safety of law-abiding American citizens.

But President Trump is making it clear: America will no longer be a dumping ground for foreign criminals. With a strong border, mass deportations, and economic warfare against rogue states, the Trump administration is restoring law and order—and putting Americans first once again.

This is the America First agenda in action. This is Donald Trump delivering on his promises. And this is just the beginning.
