https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/business/trump-venezuela-oil-tariffs/index.html
Trump says any country buying Venezuelan oil will face a 25% tariff

I mean in light of what you say:

Lets not forget that trump admires Maduro, and Maduro needs the USA to stay in power, which he has managed to do so far although it was proven that he lost the Venezuelan elections.

I'm not meaning to challenge you, just that those two things together don't make sense to me.

But to be clear, I am very much NOT up on what is going on with Venezuela, and the Orange Felon is causing more chaos here than I am able to keep up with.
