The United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as\u00a0tensions mount<\/a>\u00a0with the government of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. Venezuela called it blatant piracy, exposing how U.S. pressure has always been about controlling the country’s vast oil reserves.<\/p>\n

Congress is now scrutinizing President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0\u2019s latest push to increase pressure on Maduro, who has been\u00a0charged with narcoterrorism<\/a>\u00a0in the United States. Trump has said the\u00a0deadly strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats<\/a>\u00a0will expand to attacks on land. Maduro told supporters in Caracas that Venezuela is \u201cprepared to break the teeth of the North American empire if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
