US President Donald Trump has declared Venezuela’s government a foreign terrorist organization. He has also ordered action against oil tankers operating in the Caribbean Sea that are linked to Venezuela.
Following this move, Venezuela’s oil tanker traffic has reportedly come to a halt. After Trump’s announcement, tensions between the United States and Venezuela have escalated further.
Trump made the announcement on social media, stating that Venezuela’s government has been involved in crimes such as theft of resources, terrorism, drug trafficking, and human trafficking, which led to the decision to label it a foreign terrorist organization.
