Venezuela’s political battlefield has erupted again — just as Maria Corina Machado resurfaced in Oslo after 11 months in hiding, President Nicolas Maduro rushed to secure backup from his most powerful ally. In a tense phone call, Vladimir Putin pledged “solidarity” and vowed that Russia will not abandon Caracas as U.S. forces expand their presence across the Caribbean. With Trump pushing aggressive regime-change pressure and the Kremlin accelerating joint strategic projects, a new geopolitical collision may be forming.
The United States is preparing to intercept and seize more ships transporting Venezuelan oil in the coming weeks, following yesterday’s seizure of an Iranian-linked oil tanker in the Southern Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela, with officials having assembled a target list of several more sanctioned tankers for possible seizure, specifically targeting ships carrying Venezuelan oil that may also have transported oil from other countries targeted by sanctions, such as Iran, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
