US seizes Olina tanker in Caribbean, fifth vessel taken in Venezuela blockade

The U.S. has seized the Olina tanker in the Caribbean, the fifth vessel targeted recently as Washington intensifies efforts to curb Venezuelan oil exports. The Olina, falsely flying the Timor Leste flag, had sailed from Venezuela and was returning to the region. This seizure follows a prolonged pursuit of tankers linked to sanctioned Venezuelan oil shipments.
