๐จ LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: U.S. GRABS VENEZUELAN CRUDE AS STRATEGIC LEVERAGE ๐บ๐ธ๐ข๏ธ
In a major escalation, President Trump has confirmed that American forces have taken control of petroleum cargo from multiple Venezuelan tankers and are now putting that crude through U.S. refining systems โ not holding it in reserve. ๏ฟผ
Officials say Washington intends to shift tens of millions of barrels into commercial channels at prevailing market rates, potentially generating sizable revenue while further restricting Caracasโs oil-based income. ๏ฟผ
This move goes beyond a simple energy operation โ itโs being treated as a tool of geopolitical pressure and economic influence. With crude becoming part of broader strategic maneuvering, reactions in global commodity markets are already rippling outward. ๏ฟผ
When energy resources are wielded as a policy instrument, prices, alliances, and risk sentiment rarely stay static.
