President Trump has issued a new warning to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro: "He can do whatever he wants. I mean, we have a massive armada formed — the biggest we’ve ever had, and by far the biggest we’ve ever had in South America. He can do whatever he wants, it’s alright. Whatever he wants to do — if he wants to do something. If he plays tough, it’ll be the last time he’s ever able to play tough."

The U.S. military has intercepted two oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela and is actively tracking a third ship linked to the country. The operations come amid a growing U.S. naval build up in the Caribbean, as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to cut off Venezuela’s oil revenue.
