President Donald Trump has announced secondary tariffs on foreign countries that purchase oil and gas from Venezuela. The tariffs are in response to Venezuela "purposefully and deceitfully" sending illegal alien gang members, including those with Tren de Aragua, to the United States via the southern border, Trump said.

President Trump announced tariffs on countries purchasing Venezuelan oil and gas, effective April 2nd, 2025, citing Venezuela's deliberate sending of illegal alien gang members, including Tren de Aragua, to the U.S.. This follows an agreement with Maduro to accept deportation flights and previous deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, which were halted by a judge. ICE has arrested hundreds of Tren de Aragua members, with over 600 Venezuelan gang members residing in multiple states as of 2024.
