War Department officials said Monday that U.S. military forces seized a Venezuela-linked oil tanker that Indo-Pacific Command tracked down from the Caribbean Sea to the Indian Ocean.

“The Aquila II was operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean,” the War Department posted on X. “It ran, and we followed. The Department of War tracked and hunted this vessel from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean. No other nation on planet Earth has the capability to enforce its will through any domain.”
