Escalada en el Caribe

EE.UU. interceptó otro buque petrolero y Venezuela lo tachó de acto de piratería

El tercer operativo de este tipo en menos de dos semanas. El gobierno de Maduro cuestionó la legalidad de las incautaciones y acusó a Washington de violar el derecho internacional.

This screen grab taken from a video posted on the X account of US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem shows a US Coast Guard aircraft flying over a crude oil tanker, last docked in Venezuela, before apprehending it on December 20, 2025. The United States "apprehended" an oil tanker off Venezuela on December 20, the latest salvo in a pressure campaign against Caracas, the US government said.
It was the second time in two weeks that US forces have interdicted a tanker in the region, and comes days after President Donald Trump announced a blockade of "sanctioned oil vessels" heading to and leaving Venezuela.
