December 21, 2025
The United States intercepted a ship off the coast of Venezuela for the second time over the weekend. The ship is under sanctions and is allegedly involved in circumventing those sanctions. This operation is part of Trump's strategy to pressure Maduro's government and limit Venezuela's oil exports. Venezuela's government has accused the U.S. of piracy in response. This situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the two countries.
