US Forces Seize Second Ship Near Venezuela

U.S. forces have intercepted another merchant vessel in international waters off Venezuela. The action occurred on Saturday, according to U.S. officials. It is the second such seizure in a week. The move follows President Donald Trump's recent announcement of a blockade against sanctioned oil tankers. Washington is increasing pressure on the government in Caracas. Last week, U.S. forces seized an oil tanker in a similar operation. The latest interception signals a continued enforcement of U.S. sanctions.
