Trump Orders Blockade Of Oil Tankers Into Venezuela, Ramping Up Pressure On Maduro
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is ordering a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country’s authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro in a move that seemed designed to put a tighter chokehold on the South American country’s economy. Wiles said Trump “wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle.”Tuesday night’s announcement seemed to have a similar aim. AdvertisementSince the Trump administration began imposing oil sanctions on Venezuela in 2017, Maduro’s government has relied on a shadowy fleet of unflagged tankers to smuggle crude into global supply chains. The state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., commonly known as PDVSA, has been locked out of global oil markets by U.S. sanctions. ___Associated Press writers Konstantin Toropin in Washington and Regina Garcia Cano in Caracas, Venezuela, contributed to this report.
