Donald Trump’s military forces are tweaking Russia’s nose by targeting oil shipments, seizing not one but two sanctioned tankers in a single day across the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.
The action kicked off when US European Command (EUCOM) announced the initial seizure of the Russian-flagged Marinera oil tanker in the North Atlantic. Later that same morning, US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) confirmed the separate, successful apprehension of a second vessel, the M/T Sophia, down in the Caribbean.
