USA har beslagtagit ytterligare en oljetanker med koppling till Venezuela. Genom Operation Southern Spear, i samarbete med den amerikanska kustbevakningen (USCG), genom Department of Homeland Security (DHSgov) och Department of Justice (TheJusticeDept), lämnade marinsoldater och sjömän från Joint Task Force Southern Spear, till stöd för Department of Homeland Security, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) och kvarhöll tankern Veronica utan incidenter. Veronica är den senaste tankern som opererar trots den karantän som president Trump infört för sanktionerade fartyg i Karibien, vilket återigen visar effektiviteten i den amerikanska kustbevakningens ansträngningar att bekämpa olaglig verksamhet på västra halvklotet.
