WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. prosecutors late on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to seize the gasoline aboard four tankers that Iran is shipping to Venezuela, the latest attempt by the Trump administration to increase economic pressure on the two U.S. foes.
The government of Venezuelan socialist President Nicolas Maduro has flaunted the tankers, which departed last month, to show it remains unbowed by U.S. pressure. The United States, has been pressing for Maduro’s ouster with a campaign of diplomatic and punitive measures, including sanctions on state oil company PDVSA.
Gasoline shortages in Venezuela, like Iran a member of OPEC, have grown acute due to the U.S. sanctions, and the country has undergone an economic collapse. Still, Maduro has held on, and the failure to unseat him has been source of frustration for U.S. President Donald Trump, some American officials have said privately. more
A Mk 48 ADCAP well aimed would do the job nicely. The rest would turn around and run away.
Remember when Venezuela was a primary supplier of oil and gas? Then Maduro and socialism arrived. Maybe people should learn from this. Not holding my breath.
@NIdahoCatholic – Kinda like that explosion at Iran’s biggest uranium enrichment facility…
“Damned if ah know how that happened!”
Who said Barr and Trump aren’t fit to carry Sessions and Obama’s slippers?
We are a war now, within our own country.
We have to assume any enemy of the US is aiding antifa/blm/left/lslamic loons.
The ChiComms were just caught trying to smuggle machine gun parts into our country.
