In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump addressed the seizure of the Russian oil tanker, the Marinera, earlier this week. “They had some Russian ships guarding it, and they decided not to mess around with us,” Trump said. “We took that one, and it’s unloading the oil.
The ship was seized on January 7. The US European Command said the ship was seized for violating US sanctions. Commenting on the incident, secretary of war Pete Hegseth said that the blockade of Venezuelan oil, which is under sanctions, remains in force worldwide.
