Former US President Donald Trump has ordered a blockade targeting oil tankers that are under sanctions and operating in and out of Venezuela. The move is aimed at tightening enforcement of existing restrictions on the country’s oil exports and limiting access to international markets.
The directive focuses on vessels accused of violating sanctions, signaling a tougher stance on maritime activity connected to Venezuela’s energy sector. Officials say the action is intended to increase pressure on the Venezuelan government by disrupting oil shipments that are seen as bypassing sanctions.
