U.S. seized largest oil tanker ever off Venezuela, targeting illicit shipments tied to sanctions and terrorism.
The U.S. seized a large oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast in a significant enforcement action targeting illicit oil shipments, according to President Donald Trump, who called it the largest such seizure ever.
