U.S. Seizes Second Tanker Near Venezuela Amid Military Buildup

U.S. authorities have seized a tanker ship off the coast of Venezuela, according to sources familiar with the operation. This is the second such seizure in recent weeks. The action occurs as the United States increases its military presence across Latin America. The U.S. government has not released official details about the vessel or the reason for its seizure. Maritime interdictions are enforcement actions where authorities stop and take control of a ship at sea.
