US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, marking a sharp escalation in Washington’s pressure campaign against Nicolás Maduro’s government.
Speaking at the White House, President Donald Trump said the tanker was "the largest one ever seized".
Footage released by the US government showed armed soldiers boarding the vessel, which Attorney General Pam Bondi said was used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.
Caracas denounced the action, calling it an act of "international piracy".
