They will discuss it with the right people later,” the president indicated to the press.\n\nTrump was also asked by journalists about the fate of the oil the ship was carrying. “Well, we keep it, I guess<\/strong>“, the president replied. At the same time, the US president refused to disclose to which port the tanker will be taken.\n\n“You’re a good journalist,” Trump said to the correspondent who asked him the pertinent question. “Just follow the oil tanker. Get a helicopter and follow the oil tanker,” he replied.\n\n“The largest ever seen”
During his announcement about the seizure of the tanker off the Venezuelan coast, Trump boasted about the dimensions of the ship. “A large tanker. Very large,” declared the US president. “The largest ever seen, and other things are happening that you will see later,” he added.\n\nPreviously, Bloomberg reported that US forces “intercepted and seized a sanctioned oil tanker” in the Caribbean Sea. The United States carried out a “judicial enforcement action against a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela, according to a senior Trump administration official cited by the agency.\n\n\n
