The U.S. Coast Guard seized an oil tanker off Venezuela‘s coast early Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced.

“In a pre-dawn action early this morning on Dec. 20, the US Coast Guard with the support of the Department of War apprehended an oil tanker that was last docked in Venezuela,” Noem said in a statement on X. “The United States will continue to pursue the illicit movement of sanctioned oil that is used to fund narco terrorism in the region. We will find you, and we will stop you.”
