US says it seized another tanker in the Caribbean

The United States announced Tuesday that its forces seized another tanker in the Caribbean, the seventh ship apprehended since President Donald Trump announced a blockade to prevent sanctioned vessels going to or from Venezuela.

The US military said the ship, identified as the “Motor Vessel Sagitta” was “operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels” and was seized “without incident,” according to a post on X by US Southern Command.
