💨 Abstract

forces, including the Coast Guard and FBI, seized a Venezuelan oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. The operation is part of the Trump administration's efforts to pressure President Nicolás Maduro, who has been charged with narcoterrorism. This is the first known action against an oil tanker since a military build-up in the region. The seizure aims to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.
