US EditionU.S. Pursuit of Third Oil Tanker Intensifies Venezuela Blockade
The U.S. Coast Guard is stepping up enforcement against vessels linked to Venezuela, pursuing its third sanctioned tanker in the Caribbean Sea, officials said.
- Over the weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard pursued a sanctioned tanker in the Caribbean Sea, marking the third action in a campaign near Venezuela.
- With the Dec. 20 declaration, U.S. officials say the campaign aims to cut off a vital economic lifeline to President Nicolás Maduro's government.
- Earlier this year, Evana, an oil tanker, was observed docked at El Palito port in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, while U.S. forces boarded the Centuries and intercepted the Skipper, both flying Panamanian flags, this year.
- The blockade is already reducing Venezuela's hard currency inflows, beginning to hurt Venezuela’s economy, while the Trump administration military deployment in the Caribbean raises regional security stakes.
- Experts warn the escalation could cut export volumes as Venezuela's oil industry declines and up to eight million Venezuelans have fled, while Chevron Corp. received a waiver reissued this year.
