On Trump Administration Imposing Tariffs on Countries Importing Venezuelan Oil

Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

March 24, 2025

The United States will not tolerate any third-countries or their oil companies producing, extracting, or exporting oil and oil-related products with the Maduro regime in Venezuela. This is a regime that has consistently stolen elections, pillaged from its people, and colluded with our enemies. Any country that allows its companies to produce, extract, or export from Venezuela will be subject to new tariffs, and any companies will be subject to sanctions.

This statement follows President Trump's recent Executive Order.
