On the 24th local time, the White House said that US President Trump signed an executive order to impose "tariff sanctions" on countries that import Venezuelan oil.The statement said that from April 2, the United States will likely impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported from any country that directly or indirectly imports Venezuelan oil.
When asked by the media whether the 25% tariff was "extended on the basis of the current relevant taxes", Trump replied "yes".
The order authorizes the U.S. Secretary of State to decide whether to impose a 25% tariff on goods from any country that directly or indirectly imports Venezuelan oil on or after April 2.
On the same day, the US State Department issued a statement on the Trump administration's imposition of tariffs on countries related to importing Venezuelan oil.
The statement said that the United States will not tolerate any third country or its oil companies together with Venezuela to produce, exploit or export oil and oil-related products. Any country that allows the country's companies to produce, exploit or export oil from Venezuela will be subject to new tariffs and any related companies will be subject to sanctions.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Hill said on the 24th that the United States' measure to impose a 25% tariff on countries that purchase oil and gas from Venezuela is "illegal" and "arbitrary".
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 25, media asked a question that US President Trump issued an executive order on Monday announcing that any country that purchases oil and gas from Venezuela will be subject to 25% tariffs when trading with the United States.China is the largest buyer of Venezuela's oil. Will China stop buying oil from Venezuela?
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that the United States has long abused illegal unilateral sanctions and so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" and has roughly interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. China firmly opposes this.
He said that we call on the US to stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs, abolish illegal unilateral sanctions on Venezuela, and do more things that are conducive to the peaceful and stable development of Venezuela and other countries.There are no winners in the trade war and tariff war, and imposing tariffs will only cause greater losses to American companies and consumers.
Trump: Tariffs involving automobiles, pharmaceuticals and other products will be announced in the next few days. In addition, on the 24th local time, US President Trump said that he will announce additional tariffs on automobiles, wood and chips in the next few days.
Trump also said that as the effective date of "peer-to-peer tariffs" approaches on April 2, he may provide tariff preferential treatment to many countries, but "peer-to-peer" needs to be achieved.Trump said the EU has agreed to lower auto tariffs to 2.5%, the same level as the United States.In addition, Trump further stated that not all relevant taxes will take effect on April 2.
Trump signed a memorandum on February 13, requiring relevant departments to determine "reciprocal tariffs" with each foreign trading partner.Economists and market participants are worried that under the Trump administration's escalating "tariff chaos", the US economy may experience a "Trump recession" or even "stagflation".JPMorgan Chase chief global economist Bruce Casman earlier this month expressed high concerns about the U.S. economy, and expected the probability of a U.S. recession this year is about 40%, significantly higher than the 30% forecast at the beginning of the year.
Here we would like to remind friends with foreign trade freight forwarders involved in related US businesses to pay attention to the latest policy changes in time.Forwarding Zhou Zhi~
