💨 Abstract

The U.S. attempted to seize a Russian-flagged, Venezuela-linked tanker as part of President Trump's strategy to control oil flows in the region and pressure Venezuela's socialist government. The U.S. Coast Guard and military pursued the tanker, risking confrontation with Russia, which has a submarine and vessels nearby. Additionally, the U.S. intercepted another Venezuela-linked tanker.
