🚨 Breaking News: US Military Seizes Giant Oil Tanker off Venezuela
President Trump confirmed that the US military has seized what it calls the "largest tanker ever seized" named "Skipper" off the coast of Venezuela. This ultra-large oil tanker (VLCC) flying the Guyanese flag secretly loaded 1.1 million barrels of crude oil. Reportedly, the ship was heading to Cuba after receiving oil from Venezuela and Iran (both under severe US sanctions).
The operation was jointly executed by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Coast Guard with support from the Pentagon. A video released by Attorney General Pam Bondi shows soldiers boarding the vessel via helicopter. Officials stated that the ship has long been involved in illegal networks related to foreign terrorist organizations.
Trump is using this to apply pressure on Maduro, stating that his "time is running out." Due to this geopolitical impact, both WTI and Brent crude oil prices rose over 1%. Analysts warn that this move will reshape regional oil flows.
