The U.S. seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, President Trump said, ratcheting up tensions with Caracas in a move that also raised oil prices.

It’s the first known action against an oil tanker since Trump ordered a massive U.S. military build-up in the region and carried out strikes against suspected drug vessels, operations that raised concerns among Democratic lawmakers and legal experts.
