Senior Democratic lawmakers — and at least one Republican — criticized President Donald Trump on after U.S. forces seized a Venezuelan oil tanker off the country's coast, the latest escalation in the administration's expanding military campaign in the Caribbean.
Trump confirmed the seizure shortly after it occurred. "We've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela — large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually," he told reporters. Asked what would happen to the oil on board, he said, "We keep the oil, I guess!"
