Trump le Terrible plays pirate again by stealing second oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

The US has seized an oil tanker that had recently departed from Venezuela, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

It is the second time this month that an oil-carrying ship has been seized off the country’s coast.<\/p>\n

The move comes after President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was ordering a “blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Venezuela has described the latest US move as “theft and kidnapping”. It has previously accused the Trump administration of trying to steal its resources.<\/p>\n

“These acts will not go unpunished,” a statement from the Venezuelan government said, adding that it intended to file a complaint with the UN Security Council and “other multilateral agencies and the governments of the world”.<\/p>\n
