US pursuing third oil tanker linked to Venezuela, official says

The US is pursuing a third oil tanker linked to Venezuela, according to a US official. This development comes shortly after President Donald Trump announced that he was ordering a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela. The US has already seized two other oil tankers - the Courageous and the Maxx - that were allegedly involved in illicit trade with Venezuela. The official did not provide further details on the third tanker being targeted. The US has imposed extensive sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry, as part of its efforts to oust President Nicolás Maduro from power. The Trump administration has been actively working to cut off Venezuela's oil exports, a critical source of revenue for the Maduro government. The latest move to seize another oil tanker reflects the US administration's continued pressure on Venezuela and its determination to enforce the sanctions regime. However, the article does not provide additional context or analysis on the broader geopolitical implications of these actions.
