U.S. forces have seized the oil tanker Olina in the Caribbean Sea, marking the fifth vessel apprehended in recent weeks as part of an intensified campaign to curb Venezuelan oil exports. The Olina, described as a 'ghost fleet' tanker suspected of carrying embargoed oil, departed Venezuela attempting to evade U.S. forces and a naval blockade. The operation involved U.S. Marines and Navy personnel, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stating there is 'no safe haven for criminals.' This action is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to control the distribution of Venezuelan oil products.
