Democrats are howling about escalation in Venezuela after the U.S. seizure of an oil tanker off the Latin American country’s coast on Wednesday, a move that sent a message to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro that the Trump administration means business.
“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,” the president told reporters at the White House, adding, “it was seized for a very good reason.”
The seizure comes amid intensifying pressure on the Maduro regime and a military buildup in the Caribbean, where the military has conducted a series of lethal strikes on drug trafficking boats, infuriating Democrats who have predictably sided with the narco-terrorists.
