Donald Trump Says US To Launch Land Action in Venezuela ‘Very Soon’

[RDKirk]

...he probably right on the underlying motive....Trump already floated the idea of keeping the tanker's oil.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil

“The true reasons for the prolonged aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed,” Gil said. “It’s not migration. It’s not drug trafficking. It’s not democracy. It has always been about our natural resources.” Trump’s objective, he said, “has always been to take Venezuelan oil without paying anything in return.”

Oil futures rose yesterday after news of the ship's seizure was announced.

"This is just yet another geopolitical/sanctions headwind hammering spot supply availability," Rory Johnston, an analyst with Commodity Context, said.

Good job Donald. It's almost as though he wants to increase the price oil. Shell oil, who ships 150,000 barrels per day to the US from Venezuela, should be happy with higher prices though.

Trump is putting the navy to work to combat the oil price increase, one tanker at a time.

Reuters reports the administration has a list of sanctioned oil tankers that could be interdicted in the coming days. Oil tanker operators are starting to suspend previously scheduled voyages from Venezuela.

The new U.S. tactic focuses on the activities of what is called the shadow fleet of tankers that transports sanctioned oil to China, the largest buyer of crude from Venezuela and Iran. A single vessel will often make separate runs on behalf of Iran, Venezuela and Russia, the sources added.

One other note: The U.S. Coast Guard, with Navy resources, led the interdiction. I suppose blowing up a loaded oil tanker was a bridge too far.

No the tanker grab was a professional operation. Blowing up the narco boats was just a side show Trump put on for his Christian supporters.
