Trump says US has seized oil tanker near Venezuela

President Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, the latest escalation in what has become an increasingly tense relationship between the two countries.

“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. A large tanker, very large,” Trump told reporters. “And other things are happening.”

Trump did not provide additional details about the seizure, and he told reporters they would hear from “the appropriate people” about it.

“It was seized for a very good reason,” Trump said.

Asked what would happen to the oil on the tanker, Trump said, “I assume we’re going to keep the oil.”

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Associated Press reported that the U.S. Coast Guard led the seizure of the tanker, with support from the Navy.
