U.S. seized 7 Venezuelan oil tankers, removed 50M barrels, and is refining/selling some, Trump says—unverified.
Former President Donald Trump said on January 24, 2026, that the U.S. has seized oil from seven Venezuelan tankers and is refining it in American facilities, including in Houston, as part of a month-long effort to restrict Venezuela’s oil exports.
He claimed the U.S. has removed 50 million barrels of oil and is selling some on the open market, though no official confirmation has been issued by current government agencies.
The seizures are part of broader sanctions enforcement, but details on the legal basis, number of vessels, and oil volume remain unverified.
