U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered "a total and complete" blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.
"For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela."
Trump's comments came a week after the United States seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
