Sanctioned Oil Tankers Face Off Against Trumps Blockade: A Shifting Game of Cat and Mouse in Venezuelan WatersPresident Trumps blockade on sanctioned oil tankers traveling to or from Venezuela has sparked a response from ship owners, leading to a complex game of cat and mouse in the Atlantic Ocean. A sanctioned oil tanker carrying three hundred thousand barrels of Russian naphtha entered Venezuelan waters, while three others changed course or stopped moving. The Venezuelan government criticized the blockade, stating it violates international law and free trade. Meanwhile, non-sanctioned ships began leaving Venezuelan waters, and another sanctioned tanker turned around and headed to Europe. This situation highlights the ongoing complexities and shifting dynamics in international shipping and sanctions enforcement.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
