Скачать или смотреть U.S. Seizes Venezuela Oil Tanker | Blockade or High-Seas Piracy?

The U.S. military just stopped and boarded another huge oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, enforcing President Donald Trump’s “total and complete blockade” on sanctioned crude shipments. The Panama‑flagged vessel Centuries was reportedly carrying up to 1–1.8 million barrels of Venezuelan oil bound for China as part of a “shadow fleet” built to dodge U.S. sanctions.
​

Trump says these seizures are about cutting off “narco‑terrorism” money for Nicolás Maduro’s regime, but critics — and Venezuela’s government — are calling the move theft, kidnapping, and high‑seas piracy that could choke global oil supplies and push gas prices higher. With more than 70 tankers lurking in Venezuelan waters and a U.S. carrier group deployed under Operation Southern Spear, this blockade could be the opening move in a much bigger confrontation.

If you follow U.S. foreign policy, sanctions, or global oil politics, this 60‑second breakdown is for you. Watch to the end, then comment “BLOCKADE” if you think the U.S. is right, or “PIRACY” if you think this crosses the line — and subscribe for more fast geopolitical explainers.
