Trump announced a blockade on Venezuelan oil
US President Donald Trump has made a decision that further escalates the situation related to Venezuela. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He ordered the blockade of all oil tankers sanctioned entering and leaving Venezuela. This decision is aimed at exerting strong pressure on the Venezuelan government and the oil sector, which is the country's main source of income.
The Venezuelan government sharply criticized this decision, calling it an “extraordinary threat.” After the blockade was announced, the global oil market faced significant changes.
Oil prices have been observed rising, and market participants anticipate that the volume of exports from Venezuela may decrease. This situation is expected to affect international trade and economic stability.
Donald Trump declared the Venezuelan government a “foreign terrorist organization.” He justified this decision with serious accusations against the Venezuelan government, including asset looting, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.
Additionally, the US announced that it has sent thousands of military personnel and warships to the region, including aircraft carriers. Experts believe that this blockade could have a serious impact on Venezuela's economy and the global oil market.
If Venezuela's oil exports are not compensated from other sources, there is a high likelihood of price increases, intensified inflation, and an increased flow of migrants to neighboring countries. This could further exacerbate economic and social problems in the region.
