The United States has taken a firm stance on enforcing the oil tanker embargo in the wake of the recent oil tanker seizure in the Caribbean. Caroline Leavitt, the White House spokesperson, stated that the US will adhere to all restrictions and ensure the crew of the seized vessel faces legal consequences.
In a press briefing, Leavitt emphasized that all options regarding Greenland are being considered, with diplomacy being the primary course of action. She added that the Trump administration is in close contact with the interim government of Venezuela, and any decision made by Venezuela will align with US interests.
US Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan stated that there is a complete ban on oil shipments to Venezuela, regardless of the location. He added that the US is working closely with Venezuela and the oil industry to implement the embargo, which includes oil vessels currently at sea.
Leavitt also mentioned that the heads of oil companies will visit the White House this week, and if necessary, President Trump reserves the right to use the US military to ensure the safety of oil workers. Furthermore, Leavitt stated that discussing the electoral timeline in Venezuela is premature.
In a separate statement, Leavitt recalled the recent US attack on Venezuela, which left President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, injured. The alleged perpetrator of the shooting has gone into hiding, according to the Salt Lake City Police Department.
