US President Donald Trump has issued an order to impose a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers linked to Venezuela. The decision envisages further tightening the enforcement of existing sanctions targeting Caracas's oil exports.
The editorial reports that the blockade will cover tanker vessels involved in the transportation of Venezuelan oil, which is subject to US sanctions. This step is explained by Washington's intention to strengthen control over the implementation of its sanction mechanisms.
According to the information, the main goal of the decision is to limit the Venezuelan government's oil revenues and increase economic pressure on official Caracas. The US administration states that this measure serves to prevent attempts to evade sanctions.
