Trump Orders 'Total and Complete' Blockade of Sanctioned Oil Tankers In and Out of Venezuela

Pro-establishment narrative

Venezuela's sanctioned oil trade directly funds terrorism and enriches adversaries like Iran, Russia and China, so a blockade of illicit tankers is essential for U.S. national security. Maduro's narco-terrorist regime stole billions in American oil assets through illegal expropriation, and international tribunals have ruled in favor of U.S. companies owed over $8 billion. Forceful action to recover these assets and topple this criminal cartel isn't optional — it's overdue justice that will cut off drug trafficking, end mass migration and remove hostile foreign powers from America's hemisphere.
