Venezuela calls Trump’s secondary tariffs ‘illegal and desperate’
The Maduro government is threatening to take legal action against what it considers a violation of international trade laws
The Venezuelan government responded to the new U.S. crackdown on Monday with a message directed at Donald Trump. In a statement from the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, it rejected the 25% secondary tariffs on Venezuelan oil and gas announced by the U.S. president, calling the measure “arbitrary, illegal, and desperate.” For the Venezuelan government, this move only confirms “the failure of all sanctions imposed against our country.”
