The U.S. Coast Guard led another seizure of an oil tanker in international waters near Venezuela on Saturday amid a blockade of Venezuela.

The seizure comes comes days after President Trump announced a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.

U.S. forces on Saturday stopped an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela for the second time in less than two weeks as President Donald Trump continues to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson reports on foreign policy actions taken by the Trump administration against ISIS and Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro’s regime on ‘Fox Report.’

It's the second time in recent weeks that the United States has interdicted a tanker, and it comes amid a large U.S. military build-up in Latin America.

Oil futures added modestly to gains with market focus on efforts toward a Russia-Ukraine peace agreement and stepped up U.S. actions against Venezuela.

A U.S. official confirms to Fox News that the Coast Guard, assisted by the Navy seized a second oil tanker near Venezuela on Saturday in accordance with President Donald Trump's blockade.

The move comes after US President Donald Trump ordered a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.
