US President Donald Trump has ordered a blockade on all "sanctioned oil tankers" going to and from Venezuela. The move is part of the administration's pressure campaign against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Trump announced the blockade in bellicose terms, stating that Venezuela is "completely surrounded" by a large naval armada. The blockade aims to disrupt Venezuela's oil exports and exert pressure on Maduro's regime.
