💨 Abstract

Venezuela's government condemned a U.S. blockade on its sanctioned oil tankers, calling it a "grotesque threat" and a violation of international law. President Trump ordered the blockade, claiming Venezuela's resources were stolen from the U.S. and accusing Maduro's regime of funding terrorism and crime. The U.S. has been targeting drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean, with the ultimate goal of pressuring Maduro to step down.
