President Donald Trump has ordered a two-month "quarantine" of Venezuela's oil industry as part of the administration's pressure campaign against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The US Coast Guard is pursuing tankers carrying Venezuelan oil, and recent US actions against ships near Venezuela may encourage other countries to seize or detain ships. An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was called to discuss the US seizure of two tankers, and Venezuela's oil exports have plummeted as a result of US actions against ships carrying its crude. President Trump has stated that the US intends to keep the tankers intercepted off the coast of Venezuela.
