Venezuela has accused the U.S. of 'piracy' after American forces seized another oil tanker near its coast this week, escalating tensions in the Caribbean. The government called the incident a 'theft and kidnapping' of a private vessel transporting Venezuelan oil, alleging the crew was forcibly disappeared. 🚢💥
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed the seizure on Saturday, claiming it was part of ongoing sanctions enforcement. This marks the second such operation in recent weeks, following a significant U.S. military buildup in the region. Critics argue these actions test the limits of international maritime law. ⚓🌐
The clash comes just days after former U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a blockade targeting Venezuela's oil exports – a move analysts say could reshape global energy dynamics in 2025. With both nations digging in, this high-stakes drama on the high seas shows no signs of calming. ⚡🇻🇪
