U.S. Escalates Venezuela Oil Tanker Blockade

Strict Scrutiny

About this episode

In this episode, we break down how the U.S. is intensifying maritime enforcement against Venezuelan oil exports—expanding a de facto blockade and pursuing the tanker “Bella One” after it refused Coast Guard orders at sea. In this episode, we explore the legal, strategic, and geopolitical risks of forced boardings in international waters, and what this showdown could mean for Maduro, regional stability, and global shipping.
