President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States has seized
an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as tensions mount with the
government of President Nicolás Maduro.
“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,” Trump told reporters at
the White House, later adding that “it was seized for a very good reason.”
“Under these circumstances, the true reasons for the prolonged
aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed. … It has always been about our natural resources, our oil, our energy, the resources
that belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people,” the statement said.

What he really seized was a merchant ship not an oil tanker. Just going
by his rant ‘the largest one ever’ you can smell he is making stuff up
but offered no details.
‘This shows that their whole cover story about interdicting drugs is a
big lie’, a senator said. ‘This is just one more piece of evidence that this is really about regime change by force’.
I think we are in desperate need of regime change here in America. The
sooner it happens the better.
