U.S. president Donald Trump imposed an oil blockade on Venezuela, redirecting a large American naval fleet in the Caribbean from an operation against alleged “narcoterrorists” to intercept “sanctioned tankers” entering and leaving the country.
Trump announced this step on Tuesday in a post on the fact Social portal, describing it as "total and full blockade of all sanctioned tankers entering and leaving Venezuela".
"Venezuela is entirely surrounded by the largest armada always collected in South American history.
It will only grow, and the shock for them will be incomparable with nothing they have always experienced – until they return to the United States all the oil, land and another assets that they have stolen from us" – added Trump.
This announcement followed the fresh US business of a large tanker off the coast of Venezuela, a uncommon direct military action against Venezuelan oil exports.
Trump besides named Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro's government ‘foreign terrorist organisation’, claiming that its oil profits fuel criminal networks and undermine regional security.
Washington ‘will not let the enemy government to take over our oil, land, or any another assets that must be returned to the United States WHEREOF" added the president of the United States.
This decision was due to the expansion of the US fleet in the Caribbean and Trump's threats of carrying out attacks on alleged “Narkoterrorists” in Venezuela. Since September, the US military has killed more than 80 people in attacks on boats belonging to alleged cartels that Trump claimed were being utilized by the Venezuelan government to ‘recommendations’ America's drugs.
Venezuela denied any engagement in drug trafficking and concluded that attacks were part of ‘colonial’ a plan to overthrow Maduro and plunder the country's natural resources.
Caracas besides accused the United States of ‘State piracy’ and announced the defence of its territory and natural resources.
