US President Donald Trump has ordered "a total and complete" blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela – a move that Caracas has denounced as "warmongering threats".
Trump wrote that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s government had been designated a foreign terrorist organisation, which had also engaged in "Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking".
His remarks come after the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela last week – a move that was seen as significant given Venezuela’s reliance on oil.
Venezuela – home to the world’s largest proven oil reserves – has, in turn, accused Washington of seeking to steal its resources.
