💨 Abstract

Russia has requested the U.S. to halt its pursuit of the oil tanker Bella 1, which is fleeing the U.S. Coast Guard in the Atlantic. The U.S. has been chasing the tanker for nearly two weeks and recently imposed sanctions on four Venezuelan oil sector companies and associated tankers. This move is part of the Trump administration's efforts to pressure Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The request comes as Trump seeks to mediate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
