The United States seized a supertanker called The Skipper near Venezuela, carrying almost two million barrels of heavy crude. Reports say the vessel, owned by a Nigerian company and sailing under a false flag, was moving sanctioned Venezuelan oil linked to an illicit shipping network. US helicopters from the USS Gerald Ford boarded the ship and took control. Washington says the tanker was tied to sanctioned operations involving Venezuela and Iran. Venezuela and Cuba condemned the seizure, calling it illegal. The incident comes amid a wider US military buildup in the Caribbean, including recent strikes and operations targeting alleged trafficking.
