Trump orders blockade of sanctioned oil tankers into Venezuela

President Trump has ordered a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela. The president alleges Venezuela is using oil to fund drug trafficking and other crimes. His “total and complete blockade” comes after U-S forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast amid a buildup of military forces in the region.Venezuela’s government accused Donald Trump of “violating international law, free trade, and the principle of free navigation.” And Mexico’s president wants the United Nations to intervene to “prevent any bloodshed” as tensions rise.
