…The #sanctions also hit #Venezuela’s #economy by blacklisting 6 shipping companies—Myra Marine Limited, Arctic Voyager Incorporated, Poweroy Investment Limited, Ready Great Limited, Sino Marine Services Limited & Full Happy Limited—that have vessels transporting Venezuelan #oil.
The targeted ships were “blocked” by the #Treasury Dept, impeding them from doing international business, although it was not clear if the #US planned to seize them.
Together, the #sanctions & the seizure of the #Skipper represent a new front in Trump’s campaign to destabilize Maduro’s regime. #Trump has accused #Maduro of operating a “narcoterrorist” cartel & has authorized a series of deadly #military strikes against boats that he has said, without publicly providing evidence, are smuggling drugs. Many current & former officials in Washington say the military buildup in the region is ultimately aimed at #RegimeChange.
#Venezuela’s #economy depends on #oil & has been hurt by #US #sanctions, leading Maduro’s government to smuggle & sell crude through a web of tankers 3 middlemen. The new sanctions target three nephews of the wife of #Maduro & 6 shipping companies.

#Venezuela has the world’s largest proven #oil reserves & produces about 1 million barrels a day.
#PDVSA is the backbone of the country’s #economy. Its reliance on intermediaries increased in 2020, when the first #Trump admin expanded its maximum-pressure campaign on Venezuela with #sanctions that threaten to lock out of the US economy any individual or company that does business with #Maduro’s govt. Longtime allies #Russia & #Iran, both also sanctioned, have helped Venezuela skirt restrictions.

Oh, so now The Rapist is saying the reason why they stole the Venezuelan oil tanker is because it's sanctioned?
If they cared so much about sanctioned oil, isn't it weird that they haven't done anything about all the sanctioned Russian oil traversing the oceans.
I wonder why that could be.
