US Blockade on Venezuela: A Step Towards War?
Update: 2025-12-19
Description
The Trump administrations blockade on Venezuelan oil, tied to leader Nicolás Maduro, is causing concern. While the administration claims its not an act of war, experts warn it could provoke military response from Venezuela. Democrats like Congressman Jason Crow express fear of escalation, while Republicans like Congressman Michael McCaul support the campaign. The Pentagon prefers quarantine over blockade, but the legality is questioned. The U.S. has used naval sieges historically, but recent administrations have avoided such shows of force due to concerns about punishing civilians.
