US-Venezuela tensions have sharply escalated after President Donald Trump ordered a blockade of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, targeting the Maduro government’s main source of revenue. Trump accused Caracas of terrorism, drug smuggling, human trafficking, and asset theft, saying the move was part of a broader security crackdown. Venezuela rejected the announcement, calling it a “grotesque threat” and warning of economic strangulation. The US has increased its military presence in the region and renewed warnings for civilian air traffic due to heightened activity. Oil markets reacted immediately, with crude prices rising on fears of disrupted Venezuelan exports.
