The United States has seized two oil tankers linked to Venezuela and announced new measures to bring all Venezuelan oil sales under its supervision. These actions follow the recent removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, with Washington now seeking to control the distribution of the country's vast oil reserves. Officials stated that only oil transported through approved channels will be permitted, aiming to give the United States significant influence over global oil supplies and pricing. The seized oil is set to be included in a new arrangement under which Venezuela will supply up to 50 million barrels to the United States, with proceeds reportedly intended to benefit both countries.
