The US president has branded the government in Caracas a “terrorist organization” and imposed an oil blockade on the country
President Donald Trump has announced a total blockade of “sanctioned oil tankers” entering and leaving Venezuela, dramatically escalating pressure on the government of Nicolas Maduro and intensifying already sharp tensions between Washington and Caracas.
Trump announced the move in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, describing it as “a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into, and out of, Venezuela.”
“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before – until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the oil, land, and other assets that they previously stole from us,” Trump added.
