US Quarantines Venezuelan Oil Shipments
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
The US imposes a two-month quarantine on Venezuelan oil shipments, aiming to economically pressure President Maduros government. The move, softer than a blockade, involves a strong US military presence in the Caribbean. Maduro faces accusations of running a drug cartel and is urged to leave office. Venezuelas UN ambassador calls the moves illegal, while the US argues theyre necessary to combat drug smuggling and recover stolen assets. The US Coast Guard seizes two oil tankers, and tensions rise as the focus remains on economic sanctions, with military options still on the table.
