The United States seized a Venezuelan oil tanker in what Donald Trump described as an action taken "for a very good reason." When asked what would happen to the oil on board, Trump said the US would “keep it” and encouraged reporters to simply “follow the tanker” to see where it was headed. He declined to give specific details on the destination, joking that a good journalist could track it by air. Trump’s comments underscored that Washington intends to retain control of the captured cargo as part of its enforcement actions.
