The United States has announced that its military forces have captured another oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea, the seventh to be seized since President Donald Trump announced a blockade to prevent vessels from leaving or going to Venezuela for oil, as reported by Afp.

The ship, identified as "Motor Vessel Sagitta", was "operating in defiance of the quarantine established by President Trump for sanctioned vessels" and was captured "without incident," reported the US Southern Command.
