Casa Blanca dice que segundo petrolero confiscado pertenece a flota fantasma de Venezuela
EE.UU. confiscó un segundo petrolero frente a Venezuela y lo vincula a la “flota fantasma” usada para evadir sanciones y financiar al régimen de Maduro
TL;DR
- A tanker was intercepted in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela.
- The White House called it a 'flag of convenience' vessel part of Venezuela's 'ghost fleet' to bypass sanctions.
- The tanker was transporting sanctioned PDVSA oil to finance the Maduro government.
- This is the second vessel intercepted under President Trump's orders, following the seizure of the tanker Skipper.
- The US has also imposed a total blockade on sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela.
- Venezuela rejected the seizure, calling it 'piracy' and 'kidnapping' and denouncing the 'forced disappearance' of the crew.
