What is behind the interceptions of tankers carrying Venezuelan oil?

The U.S coastguard is in an active pursuit trying to intercept an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela the third operation in less than a week.

That move comes after Donald Trump announced a blockade of all vessels entering and leaving the country, carrying sanctioned oil.

With a ramped up military presence, and dozens of strikes on so called ‘drug boats’, it’s all part of the U.S president’s strategy to depose Venezuela’s leader.
